Trade My Boat For Your Skid Steer....


I have a fully reconditioned ex-military special operations craft that I would like to trade straight across for a skid steer with loader and backhoe attachments - and possibly other equipment. The value of the boat is $40-50k.

The boat is a 24' RIB with freshly rebuilt 315hp Cummins turning a Hamilton Jet. Unique features include Stidd Special Mission Seat ($14k value), custom forward seating, radar arch, Garmin Marine Network with 10" color multi-function display, depth sounder, 36 mile radar, all new wiring, heavy duty bow post and much more. This is a one of a kind boat, and the same hull design used to set the world record for smallest powerboat to circle the world. It's located in Iowa and comes with a dual axle trailer. I've attached a couple of pictures and can forward a full description and pictures. Contact me directly at if you have an interest.

If you throw in a squad of fully armed SEALS, then maybe I'll consider it.

Re: Trade My Boat For Your Skid Steer....


The manufacturer gives 31 knots as the top speed, and that's what I got during sea trials. You can expect that speed in almost any sea conditions, with quite a bit of airborne time!

Re: Trade My Boat For Your Skid Steer....


It's a lousy market for selling boats - been offering this one at it's typical value (I've reconditioned and sold this type of boat for years) but no takers in this economy. I don't know if the equipment market is just a soft, but I really need a skid loader with backhoe so if anyone is interested in swapping for equipment I'll drop the value of the boat from $40-50k to $30-35k. Any combination of cash and equipment would work for me. thanks for taking a look....

So, is the boat now worth less than the previous value you posted since you "will drop the value?"

Or, did you mean you would drop the asking price to $30-35K for a boat that is "valued" at $40-50K?

Re: Trade My Boat For Your Skid Steer....


I'll tell you what, pabble. If you can get Mr T to fab a snow plow onto that rig, I trade you straight up for this here Kubota.

The deal includes one sulky operator in lieu of backhoe.

---------------------------
the reality is that it's worth less than it would have been in a decent economy, which is the $40-50k amount. So now I've dropped my asking price to $30-35k. thanks.
