Supra for Cheap!

[t67supra]

I am looking into purchasing a 2007 Tige 24Ve hopefully this winter but another boat has fallen into my lap. I have the chance to purchase a 1991 Supra Mariah open bow with 650hrs on it, the boat is in great condition with fat sacs and a tower with tower speakers and lights and board racks. The boat also comes with a tandem trailer and a brand new bimini. The only dilema is that the engine knocks but still runs so it will obviously need a little work but the price is very low and I know the guy. I plan on using the boat for a couple of months while I am waiting on my new one but only if I can make a profit off of it. My question is what price range, roughly, would I be looking at if it is a rod or if it is a push rod? Also what do 1991 Supras sell for that are in great condition, besides the engine problem the boat is in excellent condition. Also I will be paying for the boat in cash so if it needs to sit around till this coming spring in order to get top dollar for it I wont mind. I bought a 94' Malibu earlier this year for 6k and sold it for 11k on ebay but the boat didnt need any work. Any help would be much appreciated.

Also even if I cant make a huge profit off the boat thats fine but I would like to make a little and it would be cool to have a boat in the meantime while I wait to get the 07'.

price it out at NADA.com or check boattrader or ebay to see if you can find how much they are selling for.

somehow my last post got erased/deleted. I posted nada values for ya and if you pay 5500 for the boat that's about half the average retail according to nada, without any options

Yeah I dont know why the last post was deleted but thanks anyway. I picked the boat up today and I am going to take it down to a local marine shop to have them go over the whole boat and give me a proffesional opinion before I even discuss buying it from the guy. If it goes well then I got one hell of a deal.
