Just wanted to get some opinions on this boat.

Checked it out and test drove it at LOTO this past Saturday. It's as clean as the description says and everything is stock/OEM on it. Owned by a 68 year old guy for the last 6 years. He didn't put very much time on it himself and he's looking to get into a pontoon boat. As of right now he won't budge on price and wants an extra $4K for the trailer. He told me he was originally asking $49K for the boat earlier this summer, but then dropped his price down to what it is now. I think $30K w/trailer would be a pretty good buy.

Although it's a really nice boat and everything for its age, I'm still hesitant with it being a 1990. Should I let the age of it bother me? Worried if I want to upgrade in a few years I might have a hard time selling it or getting most of my money back. Was hoping maybe some of you could offer some insight. Anything I should be worried about on this model, year, motor, drives, etc?

This will be my first boat and I will be boating down at LOTO with it. I've had a few other OSO members tell me they wouldn't be afraid of the boat and it'd be a good deal, that is assuming it passes a survey w/o any major problems.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
