Might do better on screamandfly. RDP is a great place but that is probably not a common boat here. Fun ride though, good luck! If you find one and need a 2.5 ROS I have one that needs one sleeve for a good price...

Might be worth posting in The Outboard Church section of RDP as well.

Lots of good ones have popped up recently, but they are back east. I'm seeing Euro's back in the $30-35k range for excellent condition. River Racers are popping too in the same range. Unfortunately, most are posted on social media. I'll look later tonight and see if I can post them for you.

Reposting this at the beginning of the season rather than the end.
95 STV Euro, Mild 260 JSRE, 20" OS center, Titus Fat Shaft Lower
I bought this boat new in 1995. Boat has never been in the water overnight, always garaged.
Everything original. Gel, upholstery, carpet.
Boat is rigged for lights and even has a never used ski pylon.
Boat has had a few different motors on it. Has seen 120 with previous motors. I self limit this one to 109 mph @ 8100 RPM (28" Hydromotive) because I'm tired of blowing up motors. Jay Smith built this one for me in 2010. I have all paper work. I change hour meter with every motor. This motor only has 23 hours on it since 2010. 130 compression on all 6 cylinders. Just haven't had time to use it much due to myself and wife's health issues.
Trailer has new tires, hubs and bearings.
Boat is in nice shape but not perfect. There are a few mild scratches and scuffs, memory on speedo works intermittently, carpet is a little worn in spots, cover is good but has some mildew spots.
Located in eastern Ohio.
$32,500

$20,000 for the entire package
I think it's time to sell my STV, I don't use it like it deserves so I want someone else that will ring it's neck to have it.
The boat is currently in my shop in Fort Worth, Texas
1992 STV Pro Comp Ski
Rebuilt by Plum Crazy a few years ago.
Fully rigged with stock fuel tank.
Both fairings.
Paddle style trim.
Livorsi gauges.
Brucato Steamwheel.
Hustler dual axle trailer with swing tongue.
$15,000 for hull and trailer rigged for Merc.
Engine that is currently mounted is a FF 200 with diamond flywheel, Dreifort slide intake, 0.030+ wiseco pistons on 141 rods, mild porting, head studs, 260 exhaust cover, brucato brain (2.4BP curve), 26cc heads currently but have 28 and 34, etc etc mounted on a single ram ridgeback mid, and will have a coned CLE on it. (I have some extras for this setup from Brendan Power that I'll include with sale)
$22,000 for hull and trailer with power.
$8,000 if hull sells separate
I also have a spare 260 that I picked up when I bought the boat.
3.5" horn, reed spacer, two steel sleeves, brucato brain (A-63), Chatfield rods, 32cc heads.
$25,000 for hull with engine, trailer and extra powerhead.
$7,000 alone
Hull has a couple cosmetic spots where it rubbed a dock on a windy day and one spot from the bow roller. The boat is solid as a rock and fast as hell for the power on it, I just never use it.
I have a Titus gearcase I can include for $3,500 and a bunch of props that can be added as well. Not selling any of them without the boat being gone or going with it.
I am not married to these prices but I am not pressed to sell it.

Thanks!! I saw these, just so far away. The perfect STV would have a 2.5 280 ROS, drag or 300x and located within 500 miles of me. Thanks again guys, much appreciated.
