Tough call on this one Air Time. I guess I would try to low-ball an offer and see what the response is. Sounds like it may need some work and $$$ fixing up. Consider that TRS parts are getting harder to find.
I don't under stand why the bank loaned him $29,000 if he only paid $22,000 for it?!? Maybe I misunderstood you, but something here doesn't make sense to me.
Is it a repo? If they loaned him $29,000 and he re-paid $22,000 you should be able to take it for $7,000.

I guess when he had the boat surveyed it was 60,000 worth he told the bank we was putting down 50% or something needed like 30,000 they said no problem and I was told he paid 22,000 so the dumb bank must be owed like 29 ,000 or so the marine asked me what I thought it was worth thats when Ithought about buying it. but I have a 24ft baja 88 with 647hp that I havebeen up dating since last year kind da like mr audiofm jon who I thought I would here from I HAVE NO MONEY SITTING A AROUND RIGHT NOW TOO, I WAITING ON COMP COME TO THE PLATE ON MY KNEE OPERATION IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS but I COULD TAKE A SMALL EQUITY LOAN OR FIRE SALE the baja the new bolsters are worth 3000, new MM steering gimble hd ring so on the motor is worth 15,000 a lone 20hrs over 627 tq but then I wouldn't have anything big enough to tow 2004explorer v8 limited,95 3/4 van 99 jeep sahara maybe but them together and marine would cost about 5,000 its probably a pipe dream for me if I was back to work it would work but it looks like big bother to my boat same colorswell it 7 in the moringI got to take a nother perc the is real bad this moring not to wine, I love this site all you guys thanks,got top go and try to stretch out, got a cortisone shot yesterday in my shoulder too maybe I should just sell my boat too see ya thanks I'll check later on here.
