I have searched Boattrader, and Onlyinboards... and the market has yet to flood with inventory for the season but it appears from 42-49K.

I would consider those average hours for a 2005 boat, and cracking interior is normal for an '05 X-star (mine did the same thing and I baby it....bad vinyl that year)
$40K would be a great deal on that boat....I would think closer to $45-48K is right.

You'll be 42-43k with those hours

Sorry updated it is MCX.. anything besides alternator bracket issues I should look for.
Also no dealer involved.. just a buddies neighbor on lake wants to move his this year.

Viper is about 4-5k for complete interior.

Anymore thoughts?

ya 42 would be a great number I paid 44 for mine 2 years ago. but it had the 8.1 and a few less hours.

I paid 48 for a one owner 05 w the 6.0, 460 hrs and perfectly maintained interior last July

I just paid 48K for a 2006 X Star in very good to excellent condition. Custom metalflake gelcoat. Plumbed in extra ballast. Upgraded stereo. MCX engine with 375 hours. This is in northern California where everything is more expensive. I would say low 40s.

Thanks guys... Looks like I found a deal, and will post pics.

Well here it is at home and a few other pics. Its got heavy oxidation on the rear, to the point of some spider cracking... but isnt a true gel coat hull spider crack. I figure with a full weekend of love I will get it up to speed.

Project- Buff Hull, Redo Teak (I want to see if I can get a black tint to the stain), then power detail the inside. Eventually look at reworking the interior where the white has all cracked.

Secondly I think the previous owner fudged the measuresments on will it fit in a 9ft Garage opening.. its a fight to get my old X10 in it.. I literally had 3" on each side, and the rub rails I had to loosen so they would bend in as I backed it into the whole.

Anyone want to give pointers... I read alot last night on bringing back the hull and I have all the 3M Products for 3 Steps. I am just wondering on the whole Wool Buff deal.

Plus anyone darkened their teak, to the point of Black?
