Asking $895,000. Used 300 m boats with thin spares sit lower.

New three-passenger 300-metre yacht subs list $3.8M–$5.7M. That is replacement cost. The SM300-3 sits in the certified used band — Perry, lockout hulls, complete DNV packages — with a triple oil-packed kit most used listings do not have.
