Cafe's are at the end of their depreciation curve so you probably won't lose a TON on it the next couple years assuming you don't destroy anything.

That said, based on other stuff that has not sold in the past few years, I wouldn't want to be more than 30-35 on that boat assuming the motors check out, assuming it has a nice trailer, assuming it has hydraulic steering and a nice swim platform and assuming it isn't all the way on the other side of the country from you.

Agree, the deals are amazing and even with good power, a boat that needs interior and paint, trailer and other stuff you can bury yourself real fast....gotta be the right buy

OK so let me throw a hypothetical out there. Lets say I can get into a Cafe or similar for what I feel is a great deal, $30K or less, now my issue is dockage. I have my 370 on a boat lift and will stay that way, the other slip has no lift. To launch and pull the boat everywknd just is not going to happen and will be a pain in the As* Painting the bottom is sac-religious, but I would prefer to have the boat floating behind the house to jump in and go. what options are out there besides paint?? If the boat was not painted and pulled once a month and powerwashed???
