A little over a month after buying my last boat, and 2 weeks after selling it, I made an offer on a 1993 Larson 17' bowrider with the 3L 4-cylinder. 73 hours on the clock (no way to confirm) one owner and on consignment at a local marina. It comes with covers. The vinyl is original and in exceptional condition, the carpet is very good, the floor is solid and I was unable to find any signs of rot anywhere.
I've been searching for a while and every boat I look at is "in great condition" on the phone, but is a total turd when I drive to see it. This one really is in good condition and seems to be everything i'm looking for in a family boat.
I told the dealer I would take it, he didn't want a deposit but is getting it all ready for me to test tomorrow and sign the papers assuming everything goes well. I'll have it just in time for the weekend. I don't really care for the "teal" color very much, but it seems to be a nice boat.
I'm paying 3000 out-the-door, which may sound high to some, but every boat around here costs that much or more and its a rotted pile of junk... I feel pretty good paying that much for this boat.
