NOTE:  BUY THIS BOAT BEFORE OWNER SENDS IT TO YARD TO BE DISMANTLED AND CANNIBALIZED FOR ITS VALUABLE ENGINES, DRIVES AND OTHER COMPONENTS.  STARTING PRICE IS APPROXIMATELY ONE-THIRD OF NORMAL PRICE FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL (WITH DIESELS).Unique Dealer re-engine in 1988 (new boat was delivered to dealer with factory gas engines in 1987 and wasn't ever sold as delivered).  Two full marine, turbocharged/aftercooled CAT 3208TA (375 HP ea.) engines dealer installed with Capital racing gears, #10 Arneson Surface Drives and Rolla props. Transmissions replaced in early 2000s with ZF IRM 280 PLs.  When properly tuned boat has reached almost 40 knots.  It will easily cruise in the low 30s.Only 3 known owners.  Boat with current owner since late 1990s.US Coast Guard and State of Texas Registered.  Anchored in South Shore Harbour Marina (League City, TX) for the past 15+ years.Super boat is in need of an owner who wants to buy at super low price and restore it to its former glory.  Boat has seen limited duty over the last four years.  Engines have been regularly started and run well (each have approximately 1000 hours), transmissions have only few hundred hours of operation and Arneson Drives operated well last time used.  bottom paint is needed and full hull repaint would add value.  It is probably time for new deck and interior upholstery.  Diesel generator has been removed and canvas replaced after Hurricane Ike in 2008.  Forward and aft plastic windows are due for renewal.This boat has tremendous value, even if someone were to buy it and part-out the engines, transmissions and Arneson drives as-is. Owner estimates that the engines could bring $7,000 to $9,000 each... or approximately $16,000 for the two.  The transmissions could sell for $3,000 to $5,000 each... or approximately $8,000 for the two.  The Arneson drives could bring $10,000+ each, or $20,000 for the two.  These pieces alone could return $44,000... then there is the hull, electronics and all the intrinsic components.  If the boat is not sold in this auction owner intends to part it out for the above value.Owner would love to bring the boat to his home port on the east coast of Florida... unfortunately it would cost over $10K to ship or almost the same $'s to cruise the 1500 miles.  Pricing reflects unique hardware, present condition and eagerness to sell.  Please note that the included pictures show boat from 2012 to 2016 (with decline in condition of windows, upholstery, etc.).Owner would consider Class B/C RV as part of payment, use messaging for more info.IMPORTANT NOTE... BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTIONS AND RELATED COSTS.  SALE CANNOT BE CONTINGENT ON ANY POST BID ACTIVITIES.
