Going to check out a '93 tomorrow

" '93 V-21 steplift, 200hp Yamaha, trailer, superclean" $9800.00

I ran it against NADA, not knowing about the electronics or other options, and it's average for retail, maybe a little on the high side. I know it's not a lot of notice, but lemme' know what you think, good AND bad. I'm thinkin' an 11 year old Yammy is due for a rebuild if it hasn't been already. NADA doesn't really account for that.

Does a 'superclean' mean the engine was taken care of, too? I'd like to think so, but wouldn't assume anything. In the upper Chesapeake, you can't really keep a boat clean that's slipped because the hull will stain, so it's likely this puppy was trailered. With any luck, there's no bottom paint.

I know, 'get it surveyed', but in my price range, it's borderline whether a survey tells much more than you can see. Little boats are usually pretty accessible to find trouble spots and there isn't much you can't whack with a rubber mallet or grab a hold of and yank on to check for integrity. Anyway, this is a spontaneous trip to check it out, so I thought I'd see if anybody'd part with some fast wisdom.

Regardless of how it turns out, can't wait to join you as an owner. ;)
