I need help!!!! I have been looking for a 19 for a few months now as a first boat. They are pretty scarce as you know, especially in my area of NJ. There is one on Craigslist for $3,125. I just received pictures and they are a bit intimidating. Can someone from this forum with more experience tell what is going on here? The hull looks off-white but white on the very bottom - does it just need buffing? The rub rail on the port side looks pieced in and there appears to be a rub mark on the hull. The boat has flaking paint on upper half and hard top... Can it be brought back down to original gelcoat do you think? The inside seats ok, can buy new from Oem, the out drive looks crusty...is this from salt water use? Is this a problem for the innards of the engine and drive? The gentleman selling the boat is saying it was used in lake hopatcong. The rear by engine looks like standing water collected there. He also said he ran it three times on muffs and it runs good. I think this boat is overpriced but I don't know by how much. Any thoughts on how big a money pit this might be and how much experience you need to have to bring it back would be greatly appreciated!!!!!! No picture of the engine and he hasn't said which it has. Is this worth going to see? I would put a value on it as-is, based on what I've seen for sale at about $900. What do you think? Thanks!
