look at several unless you find the perfect one for you, one you can't live without.. I looked at nealy a dozen in person and was headed to look at one 250miles away when the seller called saying someone just haned him cash for it.

I'm glad everyone else has the same response about the Bayliner. Best thing about Bayliner/OMC packages is you can insure them and they make great bonfires (so I hear). So let's hear about the Searay bowrider.

at least he called. most of them won't. but likewise, most buyers who no-show don't call either.

Where I live that boat would be worth $5000-6000.
We are totally getting screwed. Little wonder everyone buys their boats out of the U.S now.

did you guys miss the rotten floor? I wouldn't trust his assessment of the stringers and he made no mention of the transom or flotation foam. ...... As far as I'm concerned, ANY rot at all kills 75% of the value of a boat.

I'd keep shopping.

Agree completely. We've pretty rarely had anyone on this site start work on a soft spot repair and not find a crap ton of more trouble under the deck.
