What do you think those 3406E's cost installed?

About $200K was the number 6-7 years ago when they were still making them. I believe that boat has been around for a while. I think she used to have a yellow hull. I remember her being for sale a few times over the last 10 years or so. I remember the interior and Cats being in her. I think Slane was looking at her when I bought my boat. He had a cuistomer looking for one to refit and they were thinking of that one for a base boat.

No lifting rails! 53's need lifting rails!

Tim its the same boat and listed with 600 hours if you read the egine section of the listing. I looked at her about 8 years ago and she ran 26kts at 2000rpm and 30kts WOT. Definitely the same boat and the interior refit and repower are at least 10 years old. She used to have a yellow hull. Nice boat but only 2 staterooms. Think about how nice Southern Comfort was and what she sold for. If you use that as a comp, 175K would be very generous for this boat. Sad but true.

Spending a minimum 200k for a repower and 100 hrs. later the boat is worth 175K all day? That is brutal. A repower makes no sense for these older boats at today's valuations. This particular boat looks to have had a total refit if the boat looks a s good as the pics. If I was in the market for a 53C this one would be on my short list. Fished a lot on a friends 53C years ago, great sea boat and a real fish magnet.
