good price?

looking at a 94 grady white adventure with a 2004 Suzuki DF225 4 stroke engine- new electronics with a shorelander trailer for 20.000.
First time boat buyer? Is this a good price?

Fairly high for a boat of that age. Good power is important but not worth that much. I'd think low to mid teens more like it...

listen,with the market the way it is right now,you're dropping 20k on a boat that's 15yrs old ???

basically,you're buying an engine...

run,run real fast,and don't look back...

$17k ?? what ??? no way...keep looking...

Im with JAWZ, you'd be crazy to pay that much in this market..... I bought a waverunner last week , the guy wouldn't budge off 1200.00, emailed me a week later and i bought it cash for 450.00....People need to dump this stuff, i'd offer the guy 12,500.
