New boat!! (hopefully)
Hey folks, my name is matt. I am new to this site, but I am not new to boating. The purpose of this post is to get other people's advice about a new boat I am planning to buy. I've known the boat for years and the current owner is offering it to me. It is a 1975 23 seacraft center consul. It has twin 1988 yamaha 175's with only 126 hours. A mechanic looked at them and gave me a clean bill of helth. 4 year old furuno radar, furuno chartplotter and furuno fishfinder. Along with a VHF and stereo. The boat is in pretty darn good shape cosmetically, but has it's share of scratches and superficial cracks. The trailer is practically perfect. New fuel tanks, t top the works. Extremely excited. Do you think that this is a deal that I can't pass up? And how do the 23's do in moderatly bad weather? And does anybody know if 88 was a good year for yamaha? Would 12k be alright offer?
