I have two boats to consider. The 1993 Sea Ray is $3,500 and the 1997 Larson is $5,000. both with 4.3 mericruiser / alpha out drive.

Sea Ray has original interior. still looks good for it's age (no rips, dirty but I can clean it : ). No known rots.

The Larson's interior was replaced 2 years ago and owner says it looks like brand new. The boat looks nice, the seller is the original owner.

Should I pay additional $1,500 for the Larson? Which one should I consider?

Thanks for the opinions,

Are they are both 18' bowriders?
If the seats are not too bad I would buy the Sea Ray and rehab the upholstery myself. $1500 more for a boat with a semi new interior and four years newer is not to bad though. At $5000 it may be a little high on the price overall.
The most important thing is to check for rot and mechanical issues.
