What do you think about this deal?

1998 BAYLINER, CAPRI SE, 18-1/2', open bow, 3.0hp, Mercury engine, life
jackets, ski equipment, low hours, clean, trailer included, must sell,
$9,000 OBO, 724-228-9634

I went and looked at it, it needs a new prop, and has some scratches. But
overall it looked good. I dont know much about boats though, this would be
my first purchase.

In my opinion that's a bit high for a used Bayliner. I've seen some on sale
selling quite cheap new.

Too high for a 5 year old bayliner with the smallest mercruiser made.

What is "low" hours? Less than 50 would be low. Any more, and the price is
too high. I'd go $5,000 if the tires on the trailer are new.

It's overpriced.

I bought this bought new at the San Diego Boat Show for just under $10,000.
So, $9,000. is not a bargain. Depending on what else is available in your
part of the world it may not be too much.
The 3 liter engine may be MerCruiser's smallest, but it's adequate for this
boat. I've often had it loaded with family and refreshments and spent the
whole day wakeboarding with no problem. Fuel economy with the 4 cylinder
engine's nice. I use my boat several days a year, year 'round, and haven't
needed any repairs. (I do have the dealer service it once a year.)
Mine came with a galvanized steel Escort trailer. I've replaced one tail
light and one wheel bearing. My boating was about 50-50 fresh/salt water;
for the last year it's been mostly salt water.

If it is a "must sell" deal.... I'd say about $7,000 plus whatever
you think the life jackets and ski equipment are worth. See NADA

If an 18' open bow is really what your looking for, and you have $9,000 to
spend, then splurge another $1000 extra and get a new Bayliner 175.

At least you'l have some type of warranty for the hull and power train,
and you know the history.

This guy is asking too much for a 5 year old boat.

Bayliner 185 brand new is $10k. Comes with 3.0L, all CG equipment and
trailer. I think you can do better.
