You would have to be a moron to offer 15k! If someone offered me less than half of my REASONABLE asking price, id tell you to go F yourself and buy a bayliner!

I agree with a sub $20k offer. It is not a leading brand, and it is a tough market. Sub $20k is a quick price, full NADA today is a 2 year sell price

That Powequest should bring 30+, if it has been well maintained, especially in the Great Lakes area where they are familiar with the brand. Nice graphics too.
