Wait.. Boat Master Otto can't read the HIN...??? What is this world coming too.

First off 8k to 9K is a fair price for that boat. Some of you guys have been huffing too many fumes. It's not a project boat, its ready to ride. It's got a strong motor (it may be old but it runs good) and it looks clean. Someone can buy that boat for 9k put it in the water and run it till the motor blows. Redo the transom, hang a new motor and go. Otto you've spent too much time on the beach looking at yours and adding up how much you have in it to see the value in HH's 20. Yeah if your going to buy it and then ship it off to someone to work on it, yeah its way to much green, But the boat doesn't need to be redone. It's ready to use. If you buy that boat for 9k and use it for three years and then redo what needs to be done, your far more ahead then if you buy it for 3g's and rip it apart and sit on the beach for 4 years playing with Coosa board and glue. I'm a big fan of using my boat so it’s worth the money to buy it for 9g’s and use it every season. I'm sure there are more then a few guys that now wished they would have reworked their boats as they used them rather then ripping them apart. So in closing 8 to 9g's for that boat is a good deal and a fair market price. So you buy a basket case for 3gs and dump 15gs into it what do you really have? 9g’s for the boat use it till the motor blows, redo the transom and maintain the boat over the years, hang a new motor and your at the same place BUT you’ve used it and enjoyed it far more…
