I'm thinking of about buying one I found on ebay. It was posted 3 times and never sold. It has a 260 merc and a custom trailer. Seems to be in really good shape other than a couple split seems on the seats. Dealer says it only has 268 hours on it. Any help would be great.... or if anyone knows of one for sale? Also I won't be able to see it before I buy so any advice on having it inspected?

You may want to post a copy of this on the velocity forum as well.

My advice is have a survey done. have a survey done. have a survey done.

You can contact Magnum25 he has a 22 that i believe is for sale with a bb and in good shape.

Thanks Shore Thing. I'm new to this so is a survey the same as having it inspected by a local shop? The shop I talked to said it would be about $250.

Thanks By U Boy... I'll check it out.

Nice looking ride Magnum, but it looks nicer than my budget. What year is it? How much are you asking for it if you don't mind?

No... you need a marine surveyor to check out the boat.
Then you'll want a, no, you want your mechanic there to do a compression and leak down test.

and grip, my $0.02 worth... and this does not apply to all on this board, but i'd rather buy a boat from a guy on this site who is actually into the sport, and may care more about his stuff, than just some guy who has a boat to beat on.
If you are on this site, there is a good chance you're here to learn or teach, but eitherway you into hp boating enough to be here.
