Been talking to him for a year, it just needs too much rigging and trailer, its totally gutted by the time I rig it and get a trailer I could go buy one done

How much cheaper do you expect to find than 16 grand for a Top Gun? I'm not intending to be inflammatory, I am really just curious in your mind what the ideal purchase would be. To me, 16 grand for that boat seems pretty inexpensive.

I have a deal I am looking at that's actually pretty much what I want fully rigged and trailer for not much more money... hoping it works out..there are the right deals out there and I will wait for that deal if needed..

Only way I will do TRS again is in a gun, knowing I will change them later for a keeper boat....

I was not really looking at cafes, but found a couple and started researching size between that and a gun, seems they are nearly the same in cabin and cockpit space, so the right café works also...just has to be right deals...
