[QUOTE="ppine, post: 463334, member: 22555"] Looks like a nice solid boat that would fit your needs. I love Yamaha engines. On the other hand the seller is asking you to cover his debt. It looks to me more like a 5-6k boat. Find out if he is flexible on the price. Find some comparable boats on the internet with a nation wide search. It might be worth showing up 2 hours away with $100 bills if you really like the boat. You need to know what it is worth before you start bidding on it. The purchase price is very important. If the guy is somewhat firm on his price the boat probably won't sell. Sometimes you have to wait a month or two and call him again. I have boought and sold a lot of boats over the years, canoes, drift boats, power boats and sailboats. I made money on nearlly all of them by cleaning them up and gettng them in shape, but the important thing is don't pay too much. My Dad always used to say "what is the worst thing that can happen, that you paid too much? It is only money." I just bought a used RV. It was from a dealer so I had to pay the sales tax and some other fees, but it is the trailer I really wanted, and I am happy to have it. I did not have to drive 500 miles to buy it. [/QUOTE]
