I don't see much of a good deal there. They put Gil risers on stock manifolds, needs interior, prob has a cam going flat that's why there is a noise, boat doesn't have a whole lot going for it in my opinion. Not for 10k at least.

yea, but if you get it for 7000-7500 the 32 Baja is a big 32 and the boat didnt seem too neglected like most other 30+ footers in the price range...a lot depends how it REALLY looks...

Agreed, $5000 boat tops. Ancient interior, brick hull..... tough sell at $10.

Not to mention it's probably rotted to the core as far as the stringers/bulkheads/transom.

I totally get what you guys are saying but seriously, find me a updated mid 80's boat with new engines, new interior all hull work redone for less then 8-10,000.00 on a trailer, lets face it they are EXTREMELY rare, I personally think any running 32ft boat in halfway decent condition is worth 8 grand.... even needing work, I mean how cheap do you want a twin engine nig 32 footer? everything I see for less then 10,000 in 32 ft range is completely neglected....

I still think its decent deal for what your getting..

Cheap pile of manure is still a pile of manure.

I highly doubt there is as much "new" stuff in that boat as they say. I have to buy cheap piles of crap to have what I have, and I wouldn't touch that boat at 10k. You have to be really smart about what you buy. I've bought a handful of "new" motors over the last year that had new paint only.
