Yes. I let him loose on his own to go after top speed. At 4 moths old, he’s a hell of a driver. Don’t judge me as a father, he was wearing a Lifeline of course.

Such a beautiful sled (and trailer). Just a matter of time for the right buyer to come along.

So far, only one potential buyer has seen it and he ended up buying a nice Nordic with bigger power. He was impressed with this boat. There are a couple of others now for sale as well, but mine of course is the farthest from the major hot boat market of SoCal / Havasu. All are very similarly priced, some of the others are older with wood floors (this has the newer fiberglass inter-liner). Power, hours, new trailer, and new-rigging on this Bullet should in theory be good value in comparison. One difference is the open bow on a couple of others.

The only way I'm making time for boating this summer is if I take someone out for a test drive. Who's up for it?

Cannot believe this is still available. I can vouch that CC is a stand up seller. Best of luck.

Just moved the Bullet to a new indoor storage facility closer to home but costs bucks! Save me some money and take it off of my hands.

Unbelievable this hasn't sold
Your boat and trailer are better then the majority of the boats for sale or sold this year.That boat is gorgeous if I was in the market for a perfect 25 to 28 I would have jumped on that.Howard Bullets are one of the best v-bottom boats built both handling and looks.

Appreciate the compliments and I couldn't agree more about the Bullet!

I am willing to make an exceptional deal for one lucky boater. Make the trek here and take it home. Feel free to call, I love talking boats!

Simple math of $400 per month storage fees times the months I will not be using the boat tells me I can pass on the savings.

New price: $69,000.

I would be happy to help with facilitating delivery. At that price, buyer pays shipping.

SIMPLE reason, not priced correctly. The market has spoken
That's funny what do you see as the correct price for this boat.Have seen a lot of boats sold this year that were not priced correctly.

Always knew you were a great guy. He should probably have it filled with fuel for you also. I'd say detailed but I know it never has a spec of dust on it EVER.

I appreciate the offer, but if my kid needs to use the facilities, I'll just put him in Winspeeds boat - in the drivers seat.

These days, it's doing nothing but collecting dust in storage unfortunately. Can't make it to Hooky Day this year either. My boat hates me.

I can't believe it's still on the market at this price! It's a beautiful float and would have been in my garage at this new price! Hasn't anyone actually come to look at it - maybe Oakland/Alameda area scares people away.

Looks beautiful. Any other info or history you can give me on this ride. How many owners, is this the original power and drive in it. I will be coming up to the Livermore area for a trip in the next few weeks.

It was originally built with a Merc 700 I believe. Have to pull up the Powerboat Magazine article that showcased this boat. I had the 525 EFI installed. Give me a call anytime and I’d be happy to discuss: 415-503-8629

For those prospective buyers outside of this region, I would be happy to take a FaceTime call with a live walk through of the boat. I can also facilitate shrink wrap and help with transport. The boat is a runner - you won't be disappointed.

Sort of has the best of both worlds. Sitting down is very comfortable with great visibility. You have the option of removing the bottom cushion, flipping it backwards, and standing in the 'bolster.' I sit mostly.

Do you mean, pull the pins the the bottom swings down like most dropout bolsters? I get it’s mainly a sit down boat, but when I’m docking or off plane, I stand a lot.

Nope. The bottom cushion is actually removed and placed against the back cushion. You then lean your butt on the two cushions together.

I do the same when docking but find that for me there is actually enough room to comfortably stand between the seat and steering wheel.

Sorry I missed this. We actually stayed on an apple farm instead with the kiddo. It was so damn cute, I decided to quit boating.

Looks like a rainy Thanksgiving week for us. Come take this Bullet to a sunny destination!
