That is exactly right. It's just that everyone wants 10 to 30 percent over book. I don't think $75,000.00 to $80,000.00 for a 23 year old boat and then spending another $10,000.00 immediately is a fair deal. Water intrusion as an unknown just seals it.
We would like to have a trailer. We will...

Thank you. We are making a hobby of looking at boats, an expensive one. We are trying hard to find a boat without thousands in deferred maintenance. Prior to traveling to look at boats, I ask dozens of questions. If I get the right answers, and the pictures show a clean and relatively undamaged...
We have stepped away from this purchase. The seller claimed her husband maintained everything correctly. When I asked for service records, he said he didn't write anything down. I just wondered if I could have misinterpreted the sound, but really knowing exactly what I heard. Too many red flags...
We have been searching for a 320 Sea Ray Sundancer with outdrives. Did a sea trial on one yesterday. Had a loud clunking when turning hard port or starboard. It sounded a lot like ujoints. Owner of two years said it always sounds like that. In my mind it's likely $4,000.00 to $6,000.00 repair...
You're probably correct. My 1994 278 Four Winns Vista, a 32 year old boat with no major problems during the over 26 years I have owned it, was built right. Bullet proof.
It's interesting you say that. Granted they're all 20-25 year old boats, but I'm sure some of the brands started out with better build quality and materials.
I'd like honest opinion on the quality of early 2000's Rinker, good or bad. How to they compare in ride and durability with the other brands. We are looking at the 34 to 36 length.
You absolutely scored. We've had the same boat for 26 years. It had been an amazing boat for us. It's 27 feet long with 9.5 feet of beam. We slip it and trailer it to different waters around our state. It's uncommon to find a boat that is both 'trailerable' and yet large enough to live on...
