Going to look at a boat in Clearwater,Fl. Make is "Offshore" made by Dynasty in Sarasoto, Fl. Anyone know anything about these boats?? Havn't looked yet. Looks good in the pic"s.Has a 200 Susuki engine on it. Any comments?? Engine is a 2000.

I believe the Make is Dynasty,and the Model is an offshore. Do you have any other specifics on this model, such as year? There is a link here on iBoats for Dynasty Boats with write-ups on a variety of Offshore models by year:

Thanks for the info. Called the owner. Motor has 1 bad cylinder. Boat and motor are both 1987. I figure at least $ 2500 for a rebuild. He wants $ 3000 for the boat and trailer. Both in very good cond.!! Don't know if I want to be bothered with it. I think he would take a lot less money for it.

A 1987 boat with no motor is probably not worth $3,000. A bum 2000 OB is not a motor ... it's a project. If you can get the price down on the hull and really like it then I'd say you're okay - but be careful.

Ya, your right. It would be a project. Im gonna pass on this one. I have an 18 1/2 ft. "Lund" dual console. Great freshwater boat. I'm in FL. now, so looking for a saltwater boat.

I would think that if you're patient $3K should fetch a pretty reasonable center console boat. I did a little fishing this past July out of Destin and the boat we ran on was about a 24' center console - not real fancy honestly. I don't know much about salt water, but that Lund may do fine in some of the inshore waters.

Forgot to add: Welcome to iboats!

Ya, the Lund is a great boat. I've had it in saltwater a lot past 15 yrs. Alwaye rinsed and motor flushed. Mabey I'll just keep it. I'm 74. How many more years I got??LOL

You've got plenty left in you, I'm sure. My wife's grandfather is in his 80's; a retired dairy farmer. I think he's in better shape than I am at half his age!

I had an acquaintance here in TN a few years ago who used to fish a 18' in Florida. I don't know how far offshore he went in it, but I know he fished a little way out.

That said ... you can find projects that are well worth taking on. Check this thread out: http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=521270 He found this one FREE and dug up an outboard for the boat.

You're in good shape with a working boat - so you can wait for the right deal to come along.
