2003 240 - $27,500
- Big block
- Volvo DP
- Factory wake tower
- Low hours (252)
- New seagrass carpet
- Newer tandem trailer (2014)
- New outdrive
- Bow and cockpit covers
- Bimini

https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/boa/ ... 89054.html

I'd do a bit of sleuthing on the outdrive -- why was it replaced, who did the work, was it new, receipts?
That's a nice price and looks like a nice boat.

My thinking exactly. Also shows a board rack on the starboard side, and two or four tower speakers.

Sounds like it has been properly cared for. The outdrive is the only red flag in the listing.

Drives me nuts when the "wood" dash is worn away near the switches due to the cleaning products people use. I see it all the time on the advertisements.
...And you can't just replace that "wood veneer" look dash with factory replacement parts.

Yt found the wood for his dash. I think we made a sticky for the contact. Other wise it's in his 240 thread. I think alot of it is the oils on our skin or sunscreen and chemicals getting on it plus the sun. You see it way more on boats left uncovered in direct sunlight.

I saw the 240 in Atlanta on Craigslist, doesn't look like a bad deal. I'm going to try to look at a couple here locally just to make sure that I want to swap from my Supra before I go out of town to look at one.

I found the company that supplied these panels. They're pricey, but original OEM.

yea that is a nice looking boat. Its about what I paid for mine but this one has a better stereo and more HP. If someone is really in the market I'd jump on that in a heartbeat.

14 hours 30 minutes and almost 1000 miles? Sounds amazing, but I am not sure you could make a large enough beer payment to make that happen.
