I am looking for some advice on a boat I am thinking about buying. I am just getting into boating and know very little, so any advice will be greatly appreciated. I have already learned a lot from the posts on this forum. The boat I am looking at is a 1995 Maxum 1800 SR. It has a 4.3L V6 with 190 hp, wake board tower (a cheaper fold down one), and CD stereo. The current owner has had it for two years and reupholstered the seats in the bow and replaced the carpet due to lack of care from the previous owner. It has been stored inside for the last two years, but before that was stored outside. The rear seats have some minor cracking from being outside. The hull shows normal wear and tear, along with some fading. The motor is very clean, fired right up and sounds good. A seal between the motor and drive started leaking last year, so the motor was pulled and the leaking seal was replaced along with several other seals and bearings that were easy to replace while the motor was out. The guy is asking $6400 for it. Does that sound like a fair price? I plan to use it exclusively for wake boarding, tubing, and skiing. It is the size and price I am looking for. Is a Maxum 1800 SR a good boat? Thanks for any replies.
