Can anyone on here tell me if this boat really is worth that much or is

just overpriced?
What is it worth? It looks well cared for.
From the pictures, and he's fairly liberal with them so that's
something of a plus, it's in remarkable condition for a 25 year old
boat - I'd almost say show room condition from the pictures.

Having said that, it's still a 25 year old boat with all the attendant
potential that incurs for repairs - meaning that there is more
negative potential with a boat that old than positive.

Just guessing given it's condition, it's worth a thousand dollars max
with the usual caveats about mechanicals, but not more than that and I
wouldn't pay that much for it.

This is Ebay so that means he's probably got friends and neighbors
bidding up the price for him.
You must not be moderating Chuck's Island very closely. Earlier you said
it
was quiet. But, there are all kinds of new pictures of boats up over
there.

Where you been, young'un?



Steve...

The poster to whom you refer, John Herring, knows nothing about boats,
and is one of a big handful of similar posters who know nothing about
boats or who only show up in this newsgroup to disrupt it.

Because of those disruption, a longtime poster here started a non-usenet
discussion board so those who wanted to talk about boats would have a
place to do so. It started off ok, but then the disruptors and attack
dogs here took it over, so most boaters simply stopped posting there.
Herring or one of his buddies must have posted some off-topic post at
that message board. That's his specialty.
