Hi,
I am looking at a 2002 Sanger V210. I have owned boats in the past but this will be my first >10k purchase and wanted to see if y'all thought this was a good deal. I like the fact that it's a V-drive with the wrap around seating. It has 206 hours, seller said it's so low because he was oversea. The interior is in excellent shape and was always stored indoors. Has the factory tower with two board racks. Cd player and speakers (no tower speakers). Good trailer. He said he let me have it for 15k. I was wondering if y'all thought this was a good deal for this boat?

It's only an hour from me so I'll be able to test drive. Anything to look for inparticular?

Just anything you would normally look for in a boat. Do a search on here you will come up with all kinds of stuff.

My money is that it's a scam, he'll give you some BS reason why you can't actually test drive it and ask for payment via a fake escrow. The boat will probably already be in the "custody" of the shipping company simply awaiting payment.

I've already spoken with him on the phone and have his address. Doesn't seem like a scam and he said I could lake test. I'll check it out. Thanks for yalls advice. If you think of anything else I should look for or ask let me know. Thanks I appreciate it

I don't think it's that absurdly low. Those boats were pretty cheap around 2002, low $30s I think, and it's 9 years old.

Actually I just looked up the NADA, with no options it lists average retail price at $14k, low at $12k.

So you don't think this is a good deal? I have not seen another V-Drive for sale anywhere near this price?

I think it is a smoking deal especially in the middle of the summer. You could buy the boat and drive it to Texas and sell it for $19k. I have a 98 sanger v210 and have offers all the time for 15

jharborth, the deal is good, and I wouldn't believe it is a scam. But you should always protect yourself in these transactions.

19.5K and up, average around 22 or so, for 2001 -2003 210's, so I'd say 15 is a good deal. Again: if it has no issues.

You will love it, especially if it has the Black Scorpion motor.
