Question here
« on: July 13, 2007, 04:20:19 PM »
Dont know much about boats but i saw a nice one for sale today on route 23 up by me. It's a 22 foot inboard/outboard, made for fishing. Comes with the motor/trailer. Good/Fair Condition. Says Fire Escape on the side of it. Guy is asking 2,400. Said he would take 2,000 for it. AS IS. Is that a good deal. My buddy and I might split it ?? Sorry i couldnt give you exact information about it..lol



Fish On
Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day. But teach a man how to fish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years.

A must for and used boat purchase is a compression test.

and a hull inspection.

 like rod said, get the motor compression tested. then crawl allover the boat flipping switches, peeking in the bilge, whatever you can think of. check the transom too. some trick you can do by tapping on it with the end of a wood handle or something. not totally sure. beings its only 2400. not sure if having it surveyed is worth it, don't know how much they cost.

 need more info, make, year, model engine size, engine hours and so on. personally, i think its only 2400 for a reason, i'd walk away, unless its someone you know who is hooking you up with a really sweet deal.
