Paint min 30k
Rebuild power in very near future: min $40k
Repair trialer brakes and rubber: 3k
probably orig exhaust: 15K
Interior needs updated: 10k
Another set of props after engine rebuild 5k
Freshen Drives: 4k
Add another 25K for misc bad luck (rot).
Also include a year of downtime doing all of this.
What happened to the bargain?

Nice boat but at 16 years old and 59 other Skaters in the OSO classified you have a lot of competition. I think Sean H hit the nail on the head with financing/ insurance issues on an older boat. You can't buy the boat without financing and you can't get financing without the insurance............

I don't think all that was necessary
You don't need a 30k paint job to run. Ask Reggie
Don't know who does your rebuilds but 40k seems high
Exhaust i'll give ya
why does interior need updating
I have never replaced props after engine rebuilds
Your low on freshen 2 drives 10k
25k for bad luck whats that BS.
Even all this added your not even close to replacement value of a new skater.
The drives and power alone would be more.
I will say this depending on the age of the power and main components could be a big factor.Need more information to make a good assessment.That hull also has the early bottom.
Lots of boats for sale on OSO doesn't help.
