The next candidate to replace my Party Cruiser...

[badmoonrising]

Yep. There's a ton of 'toons now for sale locally, so I have my choice to pick and choose from. A month ago there were hardly any worth considering.

A couple of Trackers with Duradeck

Sure looks to be in good shape. I looked at a lot of used boats. I would think 10 to 11 grand with trailer is a great buy, assuming the condition is as good as it looks. just a reminder to Make sure it has the options/accessories that the boat came with new
1. Original boat cover - 2000 dollar piece to replace
2. changing room curtain

When I bought my boat the owner could not find them and it cost me a lot of $$ to replace.

How many hours on the engine? As stated earlier the "R" series is their top of the line.

Good Luck

Looks like a nice boat!

But Im with you on the red flag about no water testing.

Her answer was "don't know"... Another red flag.

Yep. I'm a picky bastid too. I'd show up with compression tester, mechanic's stethoscope, run the hell out of it and go over it with a fined tooth comb.

Being that a lot of boats around here see saltwater usage (and people who do use them in salt want to lie about it) , I may just wait until end of summer and buy new.

But the search continues....

Ed, keep an eye out with these guys, very good people to deal with. I know they are a kinda long haul for ya, but they always have pretty good deals on used and some brokerage stuff too. they turn over their inventory pretty quick.
And if you wait till the end of summer they will be selling this years 1 season old Premier rentals at a damn good discount with full warranties. From 20 footers with 25HP to 26 foot PTX's with 200HP and most combinations in between.

Thanks ! Doesn't matter where in the US. I'd use a vehicle delivery service for the right boat/deal.
