Hello everyone, after spending months reading and researching everything I could get my hands on and weighing cost and reputation I have decided to narrow my search to a Chris Craft. Whatever the manufacturer the parameters (IE) length, year, power and purpose would be the same. I believe I have narrowed it down to three at least available boats at this time, and would like to here any and all opinions, thanks in advance.
Boat # 1
1986 230 scorpion LTD 5.7 supposed newly rebuilt motor needs some interior refinishing $ 2500

Boat#2 1988 245 LTD 454, most canvas and all interior is new, needs motor or rebuild $3500

Boat#3 1985 210 scorpion 5.7 100% new interior very nice shape needs new motor or rebuild, $3000
All come with trailers.

I don't personally know the Chris Craft line up.
But get a survey.
A 3g boat could turn into a 5g hole in the water if you need structural repair.
