I found a 2005 MB B-52 V3 for sale.. 57K.
375 hp engine, zero hours, black/grey tribal.
It is has lots of extras, amp, speakers, lights.
It doesn't have the 2 speed tranny.
Is this a good price? Is the 2 speed worth the extra money?

The 2 speed tranny is worth it.

On the price, FWIW I paid less than that in 11/04 for a 2005 V23 w/ same engine plus 2 speed. Just the stock stereo though.

Good luck.

I got my 2005 v3 for 48K+tax
Demo boat w/ 13 hrs
Hot rod flames
2500 watt stereo
Tower Speakers
Strapless Bimini
PCM ZR6 w/o tranny

The ZR6 is awsome. The only time I've had any difficulty planning is when the ballast was completely full,lockers full of coolers & gear, w/ 8 passengers (one of which was a football lineman weighing in at 340lbs).

The ZR6 has enough power to make your nuts tingle.... I smile every time I hear the engine produce its' growl. It sounds bad ass and accelerates like a son-of-a-bi%#%.

I can't say enough about the MB B52-V3.

Hey,
I have an '03 MB Sports 190 Plus with over 830 hours on it and haven't had any problems that weren't my fault. It's been a really good boat. I actually met Mike Brendel (spelling?) at the Phoenix boat show this Friday and he was cool. We have a new dealer in AZ that I think is going to be really good. The fit and finish of the MB is top notch. I have crawled over and under every inch of my boat and am amazed what I find on other boats that don't compare. The 52 V3 is an awesome boat!

I bought my 05 V3 for 46K with the 2 speed tranny. Didn't get the ZR6 motor, stock stero, no lights, heater, shower, etc....
Board More/Work Less!
