Guest bradley_p Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 I was at a dealer today to look at a 2003 xcalibur but i think there are asking to much for this boat It has a full top, 550 pd Minnkota Bow Mount trolling motor, Mercury 75 hp 4 Four Stroke with power trim and tilt, Piranha Humming Bird fish finder and matching trailer. they want 18,500 for this boat i think its to much. any help would be great thanks brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigfish1965 Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 In 1996 that boat (very similar anyway) went for 17,200. So I'd say given inflation and what not over 9 years, thats a good price. That boat would really haul ass too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gill Finigan Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Pretty decent price. Around $5000 cheaper then this years model. See if you can haggle a few freebies thrown in and go for it. To late Tommy, Brads already my best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazz Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 hey brad buddy ole pal! what u been up too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brian Laketrout Cuthbertson Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Bradley Your paying cash? Why are you buying this type of boat,because of the full windshield and the cover? The Exterminators are the pure fishing boat,but if your going to use it for family and friends touring around then the back seat will be handy in this boat. What I would do is... tell them that the FFinder is junk, and your going to have to replace it! You want a new fishFinder, Tell them you want a travel cover thrown in! Then the $18.500 is a good price, that price seems high to you because of the motor. You can get the same boat with a 50 on it for about the same price,but with the built in gas tank you don't want to mix gas then pour it into the gas tank,to upgrade to the 75 4 stroke it will cost you $4,199,more then the base price for the new boat. The new Legends don't come with that FFinder on it anymore,even had the dealer admit that the FFinders that did come with them aren't much good. Ask if the previous owner had the extended warranty on the motor,he might have,but if the Marine doesn't sell the boat within the first 30 days that warranty can't be transferred. They have a great warranty for the motors.Last spring I extended mine for 5 years. This is the one your looking at Boat Get ahold of Big-o(username) on this site he trades his legends in every couple of 3years. Then of course your going to have to start buying,Downriggers,rods and reels,planner boards,ect ect.... This is the fun part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirfishalot Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 If I know Nicholls ,they got it for a song and are selling it as a whole Cd. lol I know you are anxious Brad but there are going to be some good deals out there you can bet on it , even if it means going for a couple of hour drive . I would rather spend a couple of tanks of gas than a couple of thousand of $$$$$$$. Good luck ...Thom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
