Absolutely gorgeous boat! I love the timeless gel. Looks a lot like my 21'er. Part of me wants to trade up. GLWTS. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1410884408.686435.jpg

Our Lavey is having a few upgrades this week. It is currently with Bob @ DANA Marine having a new set of his HP-900's installed. I should be picking it up Wednesday and then going straight to Custom Canvas in Upland for a new custom tow cover, from there it will have a few upgrades to the sound system then color sand, buff & detail. Upon completion it will be going back to our storage unit in Parker. Kind of silly to spend almost $5K on a boat that's listed for sale. I'm not exactly sure @ this point what it will do to the asking price or status of the listing... More to follow on that.

Ski locker? Yes a huge one, right now it has a wakeboard & 3 water skis in it....

Speeds? I have seen the dash speedo @ 76 BUT that was absolute perfect conditions & I wouldn't bet money on the speedo anyway...

I have a buddy looking and this might be right up his alley. Can you PM me what you think you would let it go for with the new upgrades.
Thanks

My wife and I met with Tim and took his LaveyCraft for a spin around Lake Havasu. The boat alcerated really well and took Havasu chop with ease. Gel coat is in great condition and having the Dana trim tabs are a great addition to this boat. Nice stereo and upholstery in great condition. I was considering buying his boat but I am going to switch directions and look for a wake boarding boat instead. I just wanted to throw Tim a plug and let others know that it a great boat. Good luck with the sell. Cheers

Sonya and I looked at this boat last season. I'm a very picky guy when it comes to details and this boat did not disappoint. We simply had too many irons in the fire to buy it. It looked great last year, I can only imagine how beautiful it is after the detail. Someone is going to get a killer all around boat...:thumbup:

Can't go wrong with this boat. It is absolutely gorgeous and shows like a new boat. Had we not done a cat, this was our v-bottom choice.

I'm curious about this boat too. Is it still for sale? Any pictures of the engine compartment and mid cabin area? Current hours?

I was looking for a boat for a friend always came across this boat. I sent him a text fro his powerboat listing and responded promptly that he still had it and was for sale just wasnt pushing the sale. I would say it was about yhis time last year. My buddy went a different route. Good luck! Let us know how it turns out.

It is on the market.

Yes... Cobra Dave is correct. I'm not pushing a sale BUT cash talks... It wont hurt my feeling to keep her for another season (or 5)... Pinks in hand & I'm guessing 275 Hours @ this point, it will need to be plugged in. Last time it was plugged in it had over 100 hours below 1500 RPM...

Who made the cover?

Custom Canvas. On the first page.

I would have bought this last year if I'd have known it was still for sale. I like my 24, but this one has better gel, and a better layout than mine. IMO

Thanks for the compliments! :champagne: I have been on the fence about parting with her but its time to pass it on to the next owner. I'm amazed that when September hits boat buyers dry up. If I still have it early next year I will pull it off the market & use it another summer. Cheers

Wanna trade?

I have always thought your Cobra was beautiful! We are planning on replacing this with a 29 Deck Boat.. It would be incredible if I could trade this in on a pre-owned Nordic or Howard BUT I would have better luck hunting for Unicorns or Mermaids. :D

Thanks! Real World #'s with 4 people on a hot summer day, fully loaded & 50 gallons of fuel it will easily cruise in the middle 60's. If all the stars align it has seen upper 70's with a 26" prop.

Apparently he’s changed his mind on selling. Text him, he’ll tell you why.

Thanks man! Tim took great care of it and the gel still shines. I love the timeless lines and can’t wait to get it in the water.
