No that is not a good deal because most new ones are not going for that much. Yes the price on the VLX can exceed 54k but it typically has the 383, all stainless options, tower speakers everything on it for that price. I am not going to comment exact price because it does very from region to region but typically you are looking at 50-54k NEW.

yeah that price is high for used especially... maybe even a little high for new unless it is the upgraded engine... is 54k with tax, license, reg?

It can also depend on where you are located.
But the other guys are right, 54K is TOO much. A friend of mine priced out a brand new one for under 50k with PP, heater, bow ballast, Monsoon engine upgrade, Illusion tower, stereo head unit w/ 4 interior speaders, (tower speakers, sub, and amp was another $2000), cover, tandem trailer, and bimini.

For that boat, I wouldn't pay over 45K (that includes TTL) because of the high hours. To have that many hours, that boat is basically a year old (can be verified by the build date...but it's probably late last year), and you can typically assume about 4-5K depreciation for the first year.
