1984 18' CC
Hey everyone, I'm looking for my first boat and recently found a 1984 18' center console seacraft and wanted your expert opinions.
I went and looked at it today, it's in good condition with a trailer and older yamaha 115. Hull and transom are in good condition, no soft spots on the deck but small cracks around the bench and on the gunnels. I still have to talk to the guy about the motor and stuff but just wanted to see what all your thoughts are. I will post more once I know more.. Thanks again!

Re: 1984 18' CC
No moisture in the deck or transom?
Engine compression checks out OK? Does she easily fire up? How does the gas tank look? Wiring look ok? Steering works? If all the above checks out, I would think that $3,500 to $3,750 would be reasonable. Let us know how it works out. Good luck. Peter

Re: 1984 18' CC
If the motor checks out, then @ $4100 it is below market value. I sold a 18SF for $2900 with everything but a solid motor. A solid running 115 is worth at least $1800. 1984 is a solid boat. BUY IT NOW...............

Re: 1984 18' CC
So the motor starts right up and sounds good..but one of the fins is broken off on the lower unit. Apparently the first owner of the boat couldn't get the lower unit of so they jumped on it and it broke off. Also he said the front baitwell doesn't drain and he just capped the drain hole when he put it in the water. I'm going to check it out in person today after class hopefully, but I'm skeptical about the motor now....

Re: 1984 18' CC
You can weld a broken fin for cheap. Those things should not be deal breakers. Turn key is above $ 4500. Ask him to take $$ off for the repair. I would still buy it at that price unless there is a transom problem(shouldn't have one on that yr 18SF)

Re: 1984 18' CC
So just got back from checking it out in person and turns out it's an 83' boat with an 84' yamaha 115 that starts right up, although there is a chip of one of the fins on the lower unit (about an inch or so in diameter). The transom is in good condition, hull is in good condition and the deck is in good shape. Just one spot behind the rear seat next the the rear baitwell that might be a little soft. Trailer in good condition, new lights just need some tires. So, after all that said gonna off 3500, see what he says.
