That looks like a great deal to me. She looks like she's been well cared for.

What Cuda said. Looks like a nice ride and in very good shape. Have a survery done. Looks like a lot of boat for the money, especially with a new trailer under her. Good luck.

Looks Nice...I have an 88 with 420s. She burns alot of fuel but its a great boat! With tons of room for a go fast. Takes alot...and I mean alot of $$$ to make them go fast! They are very heavy, but the ride is superb. Expect about 60-65 MPH if she aint tired. Get a servey, looks like a pretty nice deal if you can get the trailer with it.

Thanks all for the replys fo far. I plan on getting a servey done. Im not to worried about being the fastest guy on the water but would rather have the room as I have to little ones who love to go boating with me.

As I understand the ad the trailer is seprate. I saw the add on OSS right after I posted the price went down mabey a good theing

If a good ride and room for passengers is what you want, this IS the boat for you. They don't ride any better than a big heavy Formula.

I based my thought that it has been well cared for by looking how clean the bilge is. That's what I always check. If they kept it clean, odds are they also did the required maintenance on it. Keep us informed if you pick it up.

I had one with Kamma's great boat, lots of fun. Hard to find a better boat for the money as long as they have a clean bill of health Good Luck and Welcome to OSO.
