I'm guessing TRS, my pic's get grainy when I zoom in.
I interacted with the seller on the phone back then and now with it still for sale I'm fixing to contact him once more.
I don't want to make the long drive to see her in person unless he's clear on where I'll be with my max offer if I feel it's worth it.
Back then he thought the boat was worth more than the 10-15 I told him that I felt was the current market value. At his asking price I don't see it moving anytime soon.
Thanks for your insight.
See ya,
Kelly

I didn't say that the purchase price should be 25K, you have to try to allow for what you'll have in her after you address the boats issues. My post stated that after all was said and done if you end up with a usable boat that meets your needs a total figure of 25K would not be bad

10k or sink it in Miami boat just isn't worth it. Completely all stock trs boat with motors that are toast. Tell him keep the boat but the trailer for 4500 and buy something else. Or throw him a bone you will drag that scrap cast iorn fiberglass and rest of that heap out for 5k triple what scarp would pay.

Just askin' If you pay 10K for the boat, after repair or changes are made to it, what do you think he'll have in the boat? Also the assumption is made that the trailer is worth $4,500. it may be junk as well and not nearly worth that price. I agree that 10K would be a price point, but the boat needs work and you have to make sure you have a set figure you feel you wont go over.

That's the point I was trying to make whether you do the work yourself, repower and rerig, or have a local shop do it you don't want to get over 25K in the boat. Even if you got the boat and trailer for 5K, if you spend 30-40K to get it going you are buried in it!

Kelly I'm going to shoot lower than these guys. Even a 4K trailer, 3K in drives and a grand for a hull with non running motors etc. I would do 8K as my top. That's just me, and as everyone has mentioned, the boat is worth what people will pay. Try in the next phone call or email to get a feel for the seller, some have this idea that any old "cigarette" boat is worth big $$, if he/she is one of those just walk away (I'm sure you already know that). You'll have 10K into making it a good running boat..
