Re: Used boats.
Prodow,<br /><br />I am currently restoring a 1983 16' Sea Nymph AL Bass Boat with a 90 Rude. The hull is in great shape and the engine appears to be OK. It's sitting on a nice trailer (Shore Land'r).<br /><br />I gave $1,000.00 for it, simply because of it's potential. Unless this unit is absolutely pristine I wouldn't think it would be worth anything over $1,500.00. That's with a proven good engine. See it run!<br /><br />By the way, Sea Nymph has merged with Lowe.<br /><br />I've been around alot of Sea Nymphs. They were well built boats. Take a good look at the bottom. If it has alot of dents-pass on it. The dents tend to loosen the rivets. If the bottom is straight, you'll be OK.<br /><br />Also, check the transom. They were wood encapsulated by AL. Knock on it with the back of your hand. If it does not give a sharp knocking sound-it's rotten. Sort of like the sound made by knocking on a solid wood door.
