Not sure if anyone here even knows what boats are anymore.. but, i'm slowly easing into the market for one. I've found this absolute wreck of a boat, but the dealer is asking $3,500.
Some things to note.. The dealer does have the windshield thats missing and the back cushion. The dealer claims the boat runs fine. They took it on trade in.
From a photo only inspection, it needs a thorough cleaning, the windshield reattached and the engine cover reupholstered. Then at least a steady tune up.
Is this a huge project waiting to happen? It's new enough it shouldn't have any wood construction, but I have a feeling when I dive into this guy I'll find more and more wrong. Looking to keep it for 2-3 years and use it during that time while slowly fixing issues.

That is not bad at all. You will be able to make some money on it in a few years.

Take it for a good good test drive. Don't meet them at the lake where they could have already started it, you want to see how it cranks cold. Run it for a good bit, turn it off, crank it back up. Check the oil and everything obviously. As long and it cranks easy and runs good I see no reason you wouldn't be making money off of it with a lot of work put in to get it cleaned up.

So after some further thought, along with some advice from haugy, i think I'm going to go for something a bit more ready to go. At this point, i want something a bit more ready to go. I've found the new candidate, now just gotta sell the dualsport bike and hope its still available when i do.

I am sure you can still find some of the older 2001 Naut boats under 10K that are in good shape. I still see a number of them on the water here in Austin. As long as you have some cash there is always a boat you can spend it on.

Does anyone have any old bindings they'd like to get rid of? I'm in the process of putting together a boat board and I found a cheap board locally but not really dying to spend 250 on bindings if i can help it. I'd be happy to pay shipping plus some.
Thanks
