[QUOTE="bwag, post: 468170, member: 24955"] As soon as I asked for the guy to do a compression test and get me the engine hours he went silent. Been on craigslist for two months, something isn't right. Found another boat in Seattle, a center console with a 60/40 super clean but I've read you don't want an old motor with low hours. https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/boa/d/gold-bar-ft-crestliner-jet-sled/6958819018.html He originally listed it for 10,500. I offered $9800 to meet me 3 hours south from his place in Portland. He countered with 10,500 to drive to Portland or 10k for me to meet him at his house which is 14 hours for me. That ended that deal and I'm probably better off for it, wouldn't give him 8k for it at this point. He's currently got it listed for $9200... Probably going to go with a new boat either a 1660 or 1656 with a Yamaha 60/40 jet. [/QUOTE]
