Best of luck, do you boat on the north end of KY Lake?

So I just got the scanned hour results and it has 611 hours, not the 390. The guy selling it is pissed because he was told it had 390 in a text. The seller said he would sell it for $20,000. What does anyone think now? Thanks for all the input as well!!

That is an...incredible price. I paid far more for my 252 a couple of years ago...

Just being me...I find it HIGHLY questionable that the current owner didn't know the hours, especially if trying to sell it and...likely KNOWING someone would or could get a scan. Seems to me as if he/she was playing a game...and makes one wonder what else is...suspect. Twenty grand for that boat is a steal...literally...unless it is so-so on interior, etc.

Thanks for all the input. The owner called the guy he bought it off of and questioned him. They are both confused because the other guy had it scanned and was told 390. I also think it is a steal of a deal. Does anyone else have input on price?

Id be more concerned about the transom and stringers, Baja wasn't know for quality building practices when it came to sealing holes, you need to go over that boat with a moisture meter and a surveyor that knows what their doing, I cant help on pricing
