red dot?!?!?!?!?

[charlie_the_tuna]

hey guys, I've heard of the boston whaler red dot and black dot boats as being commercial boats. guardians, military boats and so on. this boat has the red dot, visible in the second to last photo. anybody know anything about these?? if this is a real red dot I believe it to be worth much more than the asking price.

Never heard of "dot", but it looks like a guardian hull, usually gray gelcoat.

Commercial/goverment series.

Best whaler you've posted so far. Problem is that the cost to bring her back right.

[charlie_the_tuna]

yeah. i'm figuring a few K before I even think about power. and i'd like to be in the water next summer. gonna have to stick with something a bit less heavy duty. kind of started looking at outrages in the 17, 18, 19 or 20 range. maybe something a little deeper like that hydra sports I posted earlier.

Unless it's rotten to the core I would say he is WAY under priced. A Whaler like that down here would fetch 2-3X that even in rough shape.

Charlie, I thought you mite be interested in this .it's in my neighborhood ...https://longisland.craigslist.org/boa/d/boston-whaler-18/6256558674.html.

[charlie_the_tuna]

wow! that's a great deal. makes me suspicious. too cheap. Ferm? Spare? what about the motor???

[charlie_the_tuna]

Step, where are you, Bellmore??

[wellcraftv20step]

Yes Charlie I am. Based on the map it's literally blocks away from me. If memory serves I am thinking your in Suffolk,which depending on where could be a haul. I'd be happy to look at it for you and provide a preview ,or meet up with ya and take a look.. either way It would have to be today (Sunday) as tomorrow I leave for vacation with the 3 Daughters, son in laws and oh yes the Grand children.. call or text me ,John 516 242 2457

i'm actually in long beach. I appreciate the offer but today just wont do for me. I have to drive the admiral to work and then work on her car for the better part of the day and get her home. just too much crap going on. enjoy your vacation and maybe we'll hook up after you get back. i'm gonna go ahead and try to contact him and try to find out a little more about this bargain. thanks again. enjoy your family.

That is cheap. Looks like somebody doesn't want to winterize and tarp it another year, and is just blowing it out.

[wellcraftv20step]

You never know, it just may be that great deal we always hear/ speak about !
