He is stuck with smaller boats because he has to keep it in his garage. Already told him to look into a swing away hitch and I think I have him talked into a used boat for a better value. Thanks

anyone know how much for an Ultra? With a 496 it should be in that price range? Those boats are really nice and worth the $ IMO.
BTW, mine is for sale and is 22 ft!

The Ultra 23XS with a 496MAG, Bravo I, loaded is going to run $50,900.00 Have your friend call me or pm. I will be back from the boat show and available in my office on Tuesday. I can also work him a deal on a 21 Stealth if he needs to go smaller.

Well,
The price for the 22' was $50K with the 6.2 (330hp)& $52.5K with the 496 MAG (375hp). This is a BIG 22' boat......
Almost 24' with the swim step, and will run about 60 with the 6.2 and in the mid 60's with the 496.
Also, it was loaded for this price.....
The 25' Citation with 496 MAG is $68K.......Loaded......
Just to clarify.......

Actually $65-70K for a full sized 25 footer is right in the range for that sized boat.
Real 25 to me is 98-102" beam. And a 25 foot running length. Not the ones trying to pass along a 23 footer as a 25.

Have you checked out boat prices lately ???
$68K for a "BIG" 25' open bow boat is not out of line.
The average 27 to 28' boat is about $75 to 80K.
Like some have said....The 25' & 27' Victory are not the fastest boats on the lake (although my 27' does over 80) but are great family boats.
Not many 27' boats can comfortably fit (6) adults in the mid cuddy. I am over 6' tall and even my head doesn't touch the roof.
I am very happy with mine.....my 2 cents worth......
