can't imagine buying a new hull like that and running a 7 year old motor on it.

i wouldn't give more than 10 for it, need a lot of TLC and $$$$$
Give that man a C-GAR, I do believe he is right

However, the sad part is that some on here take offense to what I say just because I am not an LSU fan nor an OBAMA Motor fan.....

just be prepared to get a new motor put on it and if you think that for that price + a new motor down the road possibly, then go for it if you'll be happy. but if not, then dont waste your money because you will never be happy with it. We cant see it so its hard to make a judgement for you

Do you know a surveyor that can take a look at it? That boat looks like it has been through hell and back. Get someone that knows how to look for problems. Me it looks like a hurricane boat that has been beat to hell. You will never get your money back out of that rig. Fishy fishy sale to me.

Ok, scratch that last post of mine. I was unaware that you had previously posted pics. No offense but you'd be crazy to buy that. That thing is a piece of junk. Keep looking, dont be too antsy. a good deal will come along thats in your price range. We got a 2005 20' skeeter with a 4 stroke 150 yam for 15,500 and it was dang near flawless and barely used. just keep shopping. If you buy that thing, they'll have to bury you face down cuz the other side will still be sore

Smart move. Also a cmpression test and pressure test on lower unit. Look in the center console for corosion and see if there is any trace of dirt or water line at the top of the console. Inspect the bilge real well for marsh debris. What condition is the trailer in? You need to sit down and itemize everything as it adds up very fast.

My friend just got a 21' Avenger w/ yamaha 225 and double axle trailer for 1500.00
The hull was beautiful but needed a ton of work. Trailer redone, rewire entire boat, new hydraulic steering, all new gauges, etc..

Forgot to add. The motor was replaced as we wanted to do a full tune up and water pump job but half the bolts were locked in heads and thermostats from neglect.
