Ok, first things first. $5995 is a LOT of money and there is no such thing as a minor fiberglass repair. Does it come with a trailer? if so is it a single or double axle? What shape is the boat in? Have you heard the motor running? Did they offer to take the boat out for a test drive? Is the transom sound? How about the stringers? Are there any soft spots in the floor? Does it have all it's cushions? Do any electronics come with the boat? How about a Coast guard safety package? etc., etc., etc. Remember, you're buying from a dealer... Frankly, I don't trust a lot of them. Also remember, they are trying to make money, not only for the boats owner, but also for themselves.. That's their job. So the price is going to be higher than what you would normally find in Craigslist or eBay or iBoats or wherever for a private sale.
Charlie gave you a link to another boat that's for sale in a marina in Lake Hoptacong, NJ. It's not that far a ride and could save you thousands of dollars. If it's the boat that I saw at a marina a few weeks ago (and I think it is) then as long as the motor is ok the boat is definitely worth the asking price. Call the guy up. Ask to see the boat. If it's the Mt Prospect Boat Yard then that's the boat I saw.... and it looked to be in really nice shape.. just needing a good cleaning... But remember,
ASK the same questions to this boat as to the other one. Pay particular attention to the transoms on both boats. Hope this helps a little and welcome to the forums here.
