Vipermax. How much???
OK, I'm convinced that the vipermax is a good boat, but how much is the thing worth? The hull is a 2000 with full nav gear and a vhf in apparently good nick. The optimax 150 is a 2001, has done 240 hrs with good history and a stainless prop. All sat on a decent trailer. the asking is £16k. How does this sound? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Mollulnan

Hi if I had not of just shelled out a load of dosh on the Opti for my Viper then I would have been tempted at this price! I was also tempted by TB but the lay out did not suit what I want if I change.
Summer is nearly over, make them a offer you can always up it!
Good luck
Nick

How big is the ViperMax you mention? Sounds like the right price really - although i would like to think "top banana" should be worth more i have now reduced price to £16k, she has a 2003 150 optimax.

Side-by-side seating and wide console would add considerable appeal and value to my boat i think, i would be interested to know if this vipermax has this?

Yes, it has a wide consol, two single side by side jockies and a rear flip bench. It's a nice set up.
