yeah well the guy is stuck at 18k...i could prolly get him to 17k...he says he had it sold for 20k but the guy couldnt get financed....who knows...there aint **** else out there..and no way i am givin him 17-18k for it especially since the lower has water in it and a few other lil odds and ends i wanna fix....lookin towards the P word again...

George keep looking, the best time is at the end of the summer. Newsday has a few in there classifieds 24's and 30's, ebay.com and craigslist.com also has a few superboats listed recently. Some guys are just dreamers and not realistic on selling prices. My friend bought a 1995 30' hull only last year for $12,000 in NJ. I recently bought a 76 24' with motor and trailer for $1500. Be patient and you will get a good deal, don't be affraid to really low ball, general rule of thumb offer 10% less than they are asking and you usally get it for 5% less (( Boats in history have always had a bad resale I don't care what brand ))

thanks for the advice...i have bought a few boats before...i always low ball...but i want a clean boatso i would be willing to pay a couple extra bucks if thr boat was bristol... there is no difference in the time of year you buy...and i aint waitin till fall/winter...i am close to closing a deal on a progression...sorry superboat guys
