I can't tell how good the trailer/trailer lights/and tires are, but
that should also be a consideration. If all is OK here, I would not
buy for over $2200. And (obviously) you need to take the rig for a
test drive to see if the motors, batteries, and running gear are OK.
Be sure to check the bilge and live well pumps and running lights.
Little things can make a BIG difference!

Sorry if I have only stated the obvious, but I have seen fishing
buddies "stuck" when they bought rigs which looked good but had
expensive problems. Check EVERYTHING out before making an offer.

Will do. I'm just a little thrown by the price they have listed. I mean, the
boat is in below average condition and the average retail is $1300 less then
their list price. I could see them jacking the list price up a few
hundred... but $1300?

I think I'll give the boat a good going over with a friend. $2200 seems a
bit low for a boat at a dealer but I agree with you and will probably offer
$2500 and see what they say. I took the price difference between a 40hp and
60hp engine and it was about $200. Adding this to the low retail puts it at
about $2500. Also, this is 1/2 way between low and average retail.
