2002 Sweetwater 20RE (20' Rear Entry) with 2002 Suzuki DF90 (4-stroke) on a 2003 Diamond City single axle trailer. Carpet and vinyl was in great condition (kept mostly covered). Came with a ski tow bar, 24 gallon fuel tank, 10 life jackets, 10-12 bumpers, and stainless prop. We paid $9,300 in 2010. It was the asking price but I didn't hesitate when I found what I wanted because there was another man there looking at it ready to buy. I pounced when I could. I'm happy with the purchase so far

That is amazing. On March 25, my wife and I left at the crack of dawn for a 5 hour journey to Glen Arbor, MI. We live in the Ft. Wayne, IN area. Our purchase was an '07 Royal Heritage 230 Tri-toon with a 175HP Verado. I would classify our boat as nearly immaculate. I've been watching Craigslist since the end of the 2010 season and this boat seemed to be the best value for our wants. It came at a cost of $24K. Here are a few preliminary pictures. I'll post more once I've polished the toons and the rest of it has had a thorough cleaning.

Re: What is a good deal???
Funny how stuff works. WOW that is a georgeous boat. NICE.... I like your sink area better, wanna trade. I think this boat attracts a certain customer. My wife is a clean freak and was talking about cleaning it up. I like the woodgrain on the dash also. When I called the factory I spoke with Kathy and she asked me what year Heritage and when I said 2008 she said that was her favorite year. They must have changed the style. I kind of like it give it that Sea Ray Curvy Look to the seats. What is the blue thing with DRIVE on it on the floor cant see it well.

Re: What is a good deal???
I just took notice we left on the same day to pick up our boats. We left at the Krack of light also. Got poor milage coming back with 2007 Silverado. It pulled well and easy but I watched the gauge to down got about 9.5 a gallon hauling that thing. Good thing it is docked.

That is an inflator. The previous owners kept the inflatables in the ski locker when not in use. We have a lakefront home with a storage shed close to the pier, so I don't think we'll use it too much.
Yes, that is kinda strange. Two couples in different states leaving about the same time for different destinations, but very similar missions. There really aren't that many Royal Heritages out there for sale.
Yes, the mileage sucked coming back. I've got an '02 Sierra 5.3 that we pull with. The temperature out was as low as -7 comming back and that didn't help. I kept complaining to my wife that the fuel economy was the worst I've ever got.
Post some pic's when you get a chance.
Take care.

I posted them on Members Boats. Talked to Harris today getting a replacement stripe from one of the fences that was scratched. Only the decal.

Re: What is a good deal???
Bought mine new in 2008 and actually picked her up on July 3rd. Leave it to me to buy during one of the dealers busiest week. I was actually looking at a 22ft model but the wife like the colors on the 25'. 2 regrets.
1. JC started using strakes in 2009.. grrrrr
2. Should have gotten 150hp (But after 3 years I am use to the 115 and she does everything we need her to)
2008 JC Neptoon 25TT = $21k
2008 Honda 115 = $8500
2008 Galvenized Tandem axle Wesco Trailer w/surge brakes = $3k
Total = $32,500
Memories with family and friends = Priceless

Re: What is a good deal???
Great Idea.
2005 Beachcomber Islander 26 ( 25 feet )
2004 Mercury 90hp. 2 stroke motor
2005 Rolco Tandem Axle trailer, w/ out brakes
All aluminum flooring, and plastic/fiberglass seats. Not a lb. of wood on the boat.

No clue on hours, but the boat was slipped, but not used extensively as could tell by the interior.
