    Wow

    I will check this out. I always say if too good to be true it probably isn't.

    Wow!

    Also has external steering. If someone is serious I could take a look at it for you. I've never seen this boat out on Long Island Sound or around the Throgs Neck Bridge area. Did they make that few as the ad claims?

    Also, I noticed it had a Ryan trailer under it and looked them up. Ryan is built in Oregon. I'd think it's a least $4k new.

    Depending on actual condition that looks like a screaming deal. I have the same trailer. The cost of the trailer was $3,440.19 in 10/08/90. My 18 footer is also a Testarosa.

    Greg, the original plans were to build 10 each of 18's, 22's, and Minx's (Minxi?).
    The numbering wasn't sequential, other all red boats were built, and the only
    proof of being a TR is the original paperwork which I have for mine. So other
    '88 models may or may not be TR's.
    Then, how many are still in existence?
    So real TR's are pretty rare.

    Saw this listed in LA in November

    I think it is too good to be true.
    Location that time was SilverLake, Los Angeles.

    this boat seems to be a scam. It is relisted in several areas of the country. Buyer beware!
