Be leery of "cheap performance boats".......like the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.....THEY DON'T EXIST!

They might start cheap and after the first hard run you quickly realize that A. they aren't that fast and B. stuff breaks quickly!

Then it turns into update time, paint/interior/gauges, then might as well go through the motors/trailer and suddenly you're that guy that has 50K spent on a boat you paid 30K for and it is now worth 40K.........

The pics look like they are from before it went into storage. Would definitely want updated detailed pics before I headed there to see it .

Value of any boat is what your willing to pay. Some may pay more and everybody wants to pay less. Its not an investment.
