Boat buying best practices

[fishnsled]

It may still be okay but I thunk his asking price of 10,500 is now way too high.

That older motor, lightly used or not, drives the value of that boat down.

I would lowball him and be willing to walk - there is always another boat around the corner.

I personally wouldn't go higher than 9000 max! And honestly probably no higher than 8000. (Boat 4000, Motor 3000, Trailer 1000 tops!)

Used boat prices right now make me laugh - it is ridiculous in my opinion.

Used boat prices are ridiculous right now, certainly a buyers market I'd say. It would also depend on how much work you want to put into getting your package. Some may think of the trip south as an inconvenience to bring one back. I guess you'd have to look at the costs and see if it's worth paying a bit more without the trip south.
