hey everyone,

im looking to get my first seacraft. Ive found a restored 23. here's the link http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listi...=blackdiamond&

It has been restored in 2004, and the engines were rebuilt in i think 1994. They still run great and they only have 400 or somtehing more hours on them after that i was told. What do you guys think of the price? I personally really like this boat, but what do you guys think?

do some searching on the site, this boat has come up in conversations before by other prospective buyers. Sorry I can't put an actual link to the threads on it but within the past couple months somebody else was seriously looking at that boat as well.

Personally I have never owned one for many of the reasons stated, but the newer one's I know are much better with newer technoligy. Those motors are 11 yrs old and I would bet the expected life is about over, I also second the twin item one of anything is bad enough - I will also go the side of overpriced, especially after looking at the other one asking 9900, thats 20K differnce, 20K would buy one heck of a blue paint job and 2 new engine packages.
