You obviously haven't looked around at used boats much then.
Yeh nah your definitely right mate got no idea iv only brought 3 second hand bow riders.. this time of year everyone pays top dollar it’s a real sellers market :notworthy:
Over how long?
If the hulls in good nick there’s no reason a boat wouldn’t sell for that much if not more. Especially if it’s properly fitted out for fishing and has a near outboard motor.

If the hulls a bare shell with an older outboard then I’d agree. Depends on what your getting.

Looking at the boat and price I agree
Be looking for a Haines hunter personally

I looked at the Haines and I'd be looking around the high 30's to low 40's for anything similar and all the engines are fuel thirsty Saltwater series ect. I'm negotiating a price that includes a rocket launcher, rod holders, snapper racks and all the small superficial imperfections to be sorted out. The Yamaha Inspection picked up on a couple little things but the motor is in A1 condition and only 194 hours on the computer. After lots of hours looking, I'm pretty sold on this boat if they ride as well as a few blokes have now said. I don't feel I'm getting ripped by any means, I'll pay what I think it's worth.
