Following Jasoutside's lead on acquisitions, even if not on price. Well above whale poop pricing, but not too bad for the NW. I've been watching the seller lower the price ever few days and decided it was time to take a look. I had a price in mind when I went to look, ended up coming up a couple of hundred bucks--partly because her floor and transom are still very solid, even with original vinyl on the floor and seats. Overall, underpowered with the 650, but in fantastic condition.
I thought a Super Sport was in my future, but after picking up the little 14' Holiday I was impressed with the amount of room behind the windscreen. The 18' seems positively huge. I was chasing a 20' that the owner can't decide whether or not he wants to sell, but this will do nicely. I'm on the water for Spring even if the boat shed project keeps me from doing floors and transom on the 14'. A repower can wait until next winter.
I do believe I will rest here for a bit. No need for a third...unless a 16' Mariner were to pop up in my neighborhood.
No dents, no missing rivets that I found, no cracking that shows through the paint--even the knee brace looks pristine.
