That equates to $8600 us. On boattraderonline.com there are 2 1996 models
w/ 130 hp engines for $6500 us.
In my opinion there is no way your 1 year newer w/ 115 is worth $2100 more.
This one is worth about $7000 us ($9300 canadian).
Now, if the boat is in perfect condition and w/ depth finder, gps, all kinds
of goodies that you like. You like the way the boat runs (which in my
opinion is a little under powered), and you have thoroughly checked the
engine and boat for any problems. Then maybe it is worth the extra to you.
However, don't expect to get your money back if you try to sell it.

My guess is your the only one who has ever looked at the boat. Since he
still has it, I would do some more negotiating. Doubt you can really use
the boat any more this year anyway.

I am in the same situation. Found a boat I want but the guy wants about
$2500 too much. He has not sold it in about a year and he just recently
dropped the price by $1000. Still not there but I figure about Christmas he
will be ready to sell.

Of course this is my opinion.
