    Yes Sir, I've been seeing this one for awhile. There's no doubt that it is a very nice unit. But if I'm going to raise my budget to that price range it opens a lot of other options up. I could get a pretty nice Donzi sweet 16 for around that price range. I've never seen one in person though...

    Check out the new price on this listing! $5000 but it says the engine is going bad. I will also look for a more relevant forum to add this too. http://dayton.craigslist.org/boa/5711906107.html

    Anyone interested in answering questions about an I/B Exciter

    Nope the lake is plenty deep and free of weeds and debris. Theres all sorts and makes of boats, but no one going close to 70 other than the bass boats. And the only Checkmate there is the old glittery blue Exciter that has sat covered on a lift all summer teasing me LOL. I spent a lot of...

    Anyone interested in answering questions about an I/B Exciter

    Yea I agree, that's one nice unit in Lima! I thought that an Exciter would be pushing the weight limit that I'm hoping to stay within, but now you guys suggesting that I could go with an Enchanter has really open my eyes to a whole lot bigger supply of boats. Especially with the inboard V-8...

    Minor Threats boat in a word - WOW. And the same should be said about the info you gave me. This isn't the black and silver shiney glitter jel coat the exciter is, but it still reminds me of a Hot Wheels toy which is my favorite thing about these older boats. And I like the classic colors...

    Anyone interested in answering questions about an I/B Exciter

    This is the type of info I want to hear!!! I have tried to get an idea for the market on these inboard Exciters, but I have had a hard time finding any available. So I don't know whether to think that these are somewhat rare with that combination, or if they just sell fast and there will be...

    The current owner says that the stuff was stolen 2 months ago and it's been covered with a tarp since. And that the floors and everything is solid. A new cover from checkmate is $700 and then another $1700 for the seat skins. I have a lot to consider and need to make a desicion pretty fast.

    Anyone interested in answering questions about an I/B Exciter

    No unfortunately not. I'm close to Cincinnati so it's close to a 4 hour trip 1 way. The guys swears it's Ligit and a solid deal but my nature is to be skeptical and he has me suspicious. And I'll tell you why. He said the boat was robbed of the life's vests, tubes, stereo and etc. I believe...

    Yea, I expect this boat is in comparable condition. And if that truck is worth 5-6 grand then the numbers will add up. Here's a link to the add, and thanks for the idea! https://akroncanton.craigslist.org/bar/5697816431.html

    Anyone interested in answering questions about an I/B Exciter

    I guess money pit isn't a good analogy when talking about boats :) I'll see if I can get some decent quality pictures from the owner. So far the ones that I've seen are really too grainy to comment on in my opinion. I guess my biggest questions are, where are all the other inboard exciters...

    Anyone interested in answering questions about an I/B Exciter

    I've finally found out the model name of a boat I've seen in the past that I fell in love with the styling of. It's an early 80's Exciter with a Mercruiser 350 in it. I've been looking all over this site and it appears that the O/B Exciters are prominent, but I am having trouble finding any...
