Ok tired of all the tire kickers out there and wasting trips back and forth to Havasu. This is my final price on the Howard if it does it sell it was not meant to be and I guess I’ll have to wait til next summer.

A lot of boat for the money.
Everything is done on it.
Needs nothing

If it sells I will have a 50’ storage up for sale next. We have been boating for 30 years and it’s time for a change of scene.

Thanks all

What pitch prop cleaver are you running? I have the same power and drive setup trying to get comparable numbers.

Good looking boat. I came so close to smacking a red one at the Springs a few years back while backing into a slip. Damned near broke my tow scrambling to push off the dock. I ended up sitting next to the owner by the window and I know he saw the whole thing. When they left, they looked for damage. I felt so stupid.

Cant tell you how many newbies I’ve seen hit boats on busy weekends. We’ve all been there at some point but lately it’s crazy between the rentals and jetski’s. No common sense. I try and out of water on the holidays.

for sale 2012 Howard SCS

Originally purchased in 2012 from Howard. owner took to Texas where it was stored and really not used. He had another boat he used at his lake house most of the time. Owner past in 2020 and boat was in probate.

Boat has 23.6 hours on it currently. It had 20.2 hours when i picked it up. I have scan report from Jan 2022.

It has been serviced thoroughly June 2022. Fluids, new injectors, plugs, impeller. and i had some gel repairs performed.
Spent $7,800.00 with receipt. I also replaced the stock rockford fosgate system with all new marine speakers and controls $ 3,800.00 Boat has been detailed and is good to go.

It has the Mercury 700 Sci. with NXT1 drive and cleaver prop. Took the boat out last week and hit 96 MPH with more to go. Runs perfect.

Colors were drawn up from original owner to match some of his exotic cars he had. Spoke to Mike at Howard and he said they didn't have much input on it. He wanted these colors. Looks really good in person and definitely stands out in the crowd.

Only thing left to perform is the analog Gauge cluster. they are not currently working. I went to Barrett Marine and they think it needs to be flashed to the computer. The vessel view gauge and smart craft analog RPM gauge works fine. Gauges run in a parallel loop so if one gauge is bad it will affect the others. I have an appointment to have this fixed or replaced.

Trailer has 6 new tires on it. boat and trailer are stored in Havasu.
I will be there 4th of July weekend to show any interested parties.
Registered in AZ. no sales tax.
Asking $195K O.B.O.
Thanks for looking.
Does the NXT drive have a transmission like the #6 drive

Offers?????
Nothing????
It's a great boat and priced good for the drive/power combo. The colors just ruin it. This is a perfect example as to why you want to do something more timeless when building a boat. I suggest a new interior and a new steering wheel. With that done, I could see someone dealing with the gel if priced right.

I think you are right.... white interior and a black/silver wheel would change the look - shit I would buy it....but interior is gonna be $$$ and time.

Yes that’s why I priced it where it’s at.
$20k for interior
White with some piping to compliment the exterior
Maybe something I would do in the. Winter season but if that happens I’ll just keep it.

I was going to buy this when it originally came up... even made an offer but was told I was too low. If this was a deck boat it would have sold by now and interior would be done over the winter. Good luck!!!

I 100% agree. A new updated interior with subtle colors would settle down the gel scheme…. That’s what’s holding this boat up. As wild as this gel is I’d still prefer it over some of the tribal graphics I’ve seen out there.

What an awesome boat, I realize the dare to be differant doesn't work for some... but damn,... that a lot of boat, lot of power for less than half price... I really like the front not all open, my force was like that, still easy to get off at the beach,... but knocks a lot of the wind, that and in rough water doesn't scoop water in... if I could sell something I'd buy it... I have boats in multible zip codes right now... the colors don't bother me at all... nice to not see your self go by every 5 min.... and nice to be able to run across the lake and not have to be on pin the whole time..
