Re: market value of a 1999 353
 

dont bet on it !!! :drink: yes my limit is $65k and when i say owner is motivated i mean he is MOTIVATED !! i dealt directly with owner not broker and sea trialed her yesterday and i believe if i had $65k i coulda bought it but may be a lil to big for what im looking for...but may buy it just because of "THE DEAL !!!"[/QUOTE]

Formulas are great boats and I've never heard anyone say "I wish it was just a little shorter"!
Just remember, you can always sink $5K in a 7 to make her a 10. You can't sink twice that into a shorter 10 and make her any bigger!
If you can get that 353 (I love the paint BTW) for $65K I'd have to think REAL hard about that one!!!

5K on cosmetics maybe.

get out your calculators if it's been likewise not cared for mechanically...

remember, the results of poor care will always rear the ugly head in season, when it costs you boating time!

I believe this boat has been for sale since last summer (2005). Does the sun-pad have bad fading and it is pretty worn out? If it is, it is the same boat I was considering but was told it was not well taken care of and by the sounds of the dings and dangs it lacked TLC.

Don't mean to throw a wrench in here but better to know now than later.
