Found a nice looking (non-seadoo) boat. Is it worth it?

2000 Chris Craft, 190, with 4.3 Volvo-Penta, 220 hours (as reported by the maintenance man, I didn't see the clock personally), maintained yearly, engine looks CLEAN, hull is clean with a couple of dings, interior is nice. Garage kept all these years.

$10,000 negotiable.

Excuse the pics, they are from my cell phone. Judging by the lower unit, it is either new, or doesn't really have 220 hours in the water. It looks brand new. Engine does also.

Should I snag it?

Just pulled up NADA and it blue-books at 6850 low, to 7800 high. I may offer her $8000.

Nice boat, better engine....

Wow, nice looker. Before I scrolled down and saw your second post, I too looked it up on NADA. It looks like you got the base too. I was going to link you because I figured there were a couple of the options listed to bring the value up a bit.

If I were going I/O again, it would def be Volvo/Penta. Their marine engine ranks number one, in my opinion.

It is a 2000 model, I'm not so sure I'd offer 8k... I'd offer more like 6,5 or 7k. That would give you a little bargain room. If she squinches at the lower price, haggle with her. You know how much your willing to pay, but try and get it for a few bucks less......:cheers:

:agree: Only Sea-Doos are worth more than what NADA says....:rofl:
