This is the same boat:
https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van/boa/d/victoria-26-hourston-diesel/6796919336.html

I texted with the seller. Volvo has 3,000hrs, and the Yamaha has 2,000hrs.
 
Is it just me, or are the numbers on this thing ridiculous

Absolutely not, worth every penny lol

If the op has any island runner questions fire away. As for the Thunderbird boat is that even a current listing? They had 2 last year, one around $120 and the other was around $70 both sold right away.

Cheers
