I hope I'm not boring you guys! The marina that rebuilt the motor verified the overhaul and said the motor is fine. They said the owner spent a lot of money on it. I mentioned the lower unit (I showed him the pics) and he said it was fine.
So...asking price is $5999. I'm going for a sea trial on Saturday. What do you think?

These pics here are 2 years old...the other pics in the dark are from the other night. She doesn't look that pretty anymore...elbow grease time!

Take a deep breath...count to 10 and if you like it make an offer that you can live with.

Believe me people are not looking for this boat so pricing should be in your favor...not the sellers.

I may be way off but I would think some where in the 3k area would be fair. JMHO

I hear you...thanks for the advice.

If you want another opinion on the motor or looking for a strait-up mechanic use the this guy http://www.theoutboardwizard.com/ . He is a legend on the south shore, never holds anything back and will explain anything in detail.

Good Luck!

Funny...that's the guy (Ralph) who overhauled the engine!

Erik,
She looks real nice from California 2 years back. Trailer looks good and I'd love to have a navy top like that with enclosures. A must for spring and fall stripers up and down the island.

If dude had the scratch to have that made, he probably has the full cover for aft also. $$.

While $6k is kind of high, if you are pleased, mid to high 4s is still reasonable for a cozy little fishing skiff that will get you by until you're ready to take on a Sceptre 23.

Get some nice pics on your sea trial and we'll egg you on or not some more...

Not sure if it's the same guy... The Outboard Wizard is actually Lindenhurst Outboard in Lindenhust of all places.

That place has the same phone number. I spoke with them yesterday.
