Answers to these questions and more would determine value, but in the end, what's it worth to YOU?

Good luck w/your decision...let us know what you do...
I'm in total agreement with everything Reelapeelin said, and I'd also like to add the following thought:

The fact is, the market is very depressed right now with a lot of people without jobs, inflation, cost of gas, etc. My point is that 4K for a boat of that year seems to be a lot, no matter what the condition. Unless he's willing to deal, I'd walk away.... but that's just me and you may see things differently. Good luck with your search and wellcome to the site.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
