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.


Don't get to attached to this boat. I fhtey don't take your offer look at
somethignelse. Also... don't buy it if you aren't prepared to spend some
time working on it when you would rather be fishing. Just my .02
