How much this COULD be worth?

[PARADOX]

Been trying to sell my Avanti, but hardly anyone knows about the hull's heritage, connection to Don Aronow, Banana boat, Coyote, Sonic, so I won't get into it.
So,, how much the boat would be worth with the following set up
2008 Hull, 2001 496's, (under 200 hours) Bravo drives, K-planes, McCloud El. bolsters, Gaffrieg gauges, mirrored hatch. Imco PS. 1000 W stereo, all the typical goodies, bunch of LED's all over. 250 Gal racing tanks. Custom graphics. etc.
She has 525's and XR' shorties, but I have a project that I'm thinking about and might take out the 525's and XR's and reduce the price of course.
I had the same hull years ago with 496's and she did mid to upper 70's with labbed props. With the 525's, XR's and ITS she goes to upper 80's.
So.. how much $ with the 496's ?
Thx

Hey peter, How's things going? It must a heck of a project for you to think about letting go of your baby.

The biggest problem you have right now, there is a bunch of similar boats currently out there for sale.

33' Avanti High Performance Year: 2004 Power: Twin 500 hp (each) Location: Florida Asking: $69,900

Avanti Racing 33 Year: 1997 Power: Twin 850 hp (each) Location: Tennessee Asking: $70,000

Avanti 33 Year:2003 Length:33'Engine/Fuel Type: Twin 496 Located In: Trenton, NJ Current Price: US$ 64,995

So, with a 2008 boat, and the earlier 2001 496's, you're going to be viewed as similar to the 2003/2004's I would think in potential buyers minds

Hey buddy.
Yup, I have a project I'm considering. I'm thinking letting the Avanti go with 496's instead of with the 525's. I could drop the price, so I need to do the math and find out what I can get for the 08 Avanti with 496's. I have plans for the 525's If the 03 Avanti W/496's goes for 65K. then my 08 Avanti should be at ?? This is what I'm trying to find out.

If it goes for 65, I would think yours is worth 10 more no matter what it goes for. If it goes for 60, yours should see 70 etc. Especially if you can document the hours on the 496's somehow, or sell it to someone who knows your reputation as no BS.

Thanks Rat. The 496's are verified under 200 Hrs. My 525's will hit 200 hrs, the next time I warm them up.

I'm assuming that will be this weekend?
