Take a look at our "For Sale" thread and see if you find any comparables. Furuno is a quality vendor.T-top is a plus if it is in good shape. Tankage will probably be adequate, but you need to decide if it is adequate for your intended use. Check the resale market for '88 yammies and then go from there.

From what you say, if everything is right, you have a pretty good opportunity. Just understand you will probably have another 5 g's in nearly immediate cost, and if you're lucky! Add to that another 5 to make it "YOURS"; boat motor plus equipment. Do you have something adequate to tow it, or do you have to go through a vehicle change, etc?

Think it through the first 2 years and if you can swing it, pull the trigger. Remember, don't love anything that can't love you back and buy with your head and not your heart! GFL - or - Good F----g Luck, you dog, you!!!!

PS. - Get a good competent surveyor to check it out. He knows how to find things you likely cannot! Worse case, he comes up with somethings you can use to negotiate down the price!
