I think if you want it & have the cash you should by it-

I would see if I could arrange a test run to make sure everything is in order and to see if you really like the boat and have the engine looked at unless you really trust the marina but it seems to be a pretty good deal.

These things tend to disapear pretty quick so I wouldn't screw around too much.

FYI...here is a site for price guides. Not sure how reliable this is. http://www.nadaguides.com/Boats . Note you have to value the boat, trailer and motor separately. I'd also do a national search on traderonline.com to see what that year model sells for.

Pricing guides vary from ulrealistic to complete fantasy. I see for example 12k prices on NADA on boats that fetch 20k in the real world often. I'd be more apt to check out the local market, take into account the particular time of the season, and then negotiate until they chase you out the door. I realize that is easier said than done when it is a challenge to get to step one and even locate what you want.
