Hi,
I went to look at two deck boats today and am looking for opinions.
First boat:
1999 23' Ebbtide Mystique
Sold by owner - no warranty
5.0L Volvo - was told it was 270 hp carbureted
very good removable carpet, bimini, cover.
Nice tandem trailer included.
gelcoat faded where it had color.
Seats starting to split a little, I could live with for a year or two.
Could get him down to $9,500.
I am going to test ride in a couple of days, when he gets it de-winterized.
Second boat:
1997 20' Regal Destiny CC
Sold by a marine liquidator - 30 day warranty
5.7L Volvo
No carpet or covers
New seat cushions, but old vinyl on interior sides
gelcoat was faded but they polished it out
No trailer
Wants deposit to test ride. Will not refund unless there are mechanical problems.
$10,000. He will throw in a new cover.
There is also a 2001 Key West Oasis 210LS with 115 Yamaha 4 stroke and trailer nearby, but I haven't looked at that one.
Anyone familiar with these boats or have any opinions? Will be used on a decent size lake (Lake Norman, NC). I am interested in deck boats because I had a tritoon and know I want something a little better for watersports. We have company visit from out of town a few times a year and need room for up to 8 people.
Thanks
