Jeff,

Just remember that a 98 model could have been delivered anytime after about July of 97. So you're talking about a six year old boat. 85 hours begs questions. If it was repowered, again, that provokes different questions. Make sure you have a surveyor check the hours by reading the engine codes. If it is a true 85 hours, then check this out. There was a post in the general section two weeks ago where someone bought a 2000 cig with just over a 100 hours that had set for two years. The new owner dropped valves in both engines within 20 hours of the purchase.

Get a survey and water test to protect yourself. Craig223 went through 3 or 4 cigarette bullet surveys before he could find a boat without a wet transom.

Cheap should not be your goal...reliability.
