I think people have to keep in mind, everyone has their own standards. I'll preface this by saying I'm somewhat of a perfectionist. I'm a good guy to preview a boat for you as long as you don't want a rosy picture. If there's a flaw, I'll find it. I looked at the boat a few months ago, and put an offer on it. Much of it has been redone. For me, there is more to go, and I would put at least another $20K into the boat and trailer to get it into new looking condition (assuming no major mechanicals need freshening). Beware that insurance is difficult to get with the 800's. When I looked at it, the boat was $100K. It's now near $80K, so I think it is probably a reasonable buy, and should sell (good luck to Jeffrey!). To answer someone's question, the boat is from Maryland.
