Price for 2001 Promax 300

[bradmd]

I am thinking about buying a used boat that has twin 2001 300x motors on it, 350 hrs. I assume (but would verify with a motor survey prior to buying) that they have good compression. I think they are 20" w sporty LU. Paint looks good to me. Assuming all functioning, and good compression, if I buy the hull, I'd probably sell the engines (I have a couple of 300xs motors I've been looking for a hull for). What could I reasonably expect to get for them if I sold the 300x motors here in FL?

Are they promax or 300x? I will buy them, call me at 954-558-1081

Sorry, I was thinking pro max and 300x were the same, but evidently not. I havent owned any older mercs; Looks like the pics of the cowls say pro max 300

Post a pic of the powerhead.
300pm =$5k
300x =$10k

[bradmd]

Thanks, that gives me an idea what the boat is worth. I knew it was overpriced even if the motors were 10k each. They do appear to be pro max 300s, so it's even that much more overpriced. I don't think I'll be able to get them down to a reasonable price, so I doubt I'll buy it

300 PM 1998-2000
300x 2001-2005

Broker says they are 2001. Here are pics of them. Certainly look like pro max to me. I see 300x no where on them. Prob a no-go anyway w the price. Numbers wont work out w price they are asking if the motors are only worth 10k together.

The bad news is those are 25 inch Motors. The good news is they have 5-inch spacer kits in them.

It's impossible to tell a Promax vs. An X from the outside as everything is the same.

A picture of the powerhead will tell for sure!

[bradmd]

so even a 300x would say promax on the outside cowlings?

[Todd D]

Yes. The only difference is the big red X behind the 300. People remove them and or replace with new stickers that don't have it.....

What hull is that? Looks like a center console cat-

It's a 33' Thunder. Broker is sending SN tomorrow.

Is it a center console cat? I would like to see pictures of it-please let me know if you don't end up with it, I may have interest in it.
