My Dad's friend is getting rid of his 1996 Crestliner 1880 sport. it's been sitting for almost four years but it looks like it's in pretty good shape. I know the interior is starting to crack and the owner is going to try to get it started today or at least to turn over, is there anything with this particular year model I should look out for I feel like the price is amazing and just wanted to make sure I was getting a good deal. He's asking $1500

Will the deal just got better I got off the phone with him and he asked if I was interested in taking the extra outboard he has since they are moving and he doesn't want to go through the hassle of selling it. So he's throwing it in for you charge 115 horsepower Mercury with controls. It has to be rebuilt but it's still free I figured I can rebuild it sell it and almost get the Pontoon for free

I agree that its a great price for you. I paid that for my old boat and it wasn't in nearly as good condition as that one.

I just but a 1998 Crest 22ft and 1998 60hp rude for just over 5k. My floor does not need to be replaced though. Carpet is pretty worn. And all seat tops and backs have been reupolsetered with the bottoms being factory seat material.

That one looks to be in good shape. I wonder how the wood has to be replaced but the carpet and seats look so good?
