Hello, everyone. I've always wanted to purchase a boat but never got myself to pull the plunge. Now that i have 2 boys (1 yr and 3yrs old) I know they would love it and i want to go out and go fishing.
I've been looking around waiting for the right one, being a motorcyle rider i know it's better to purchase during the offseason. There is one out here in N. VA that i just looked at. The owner is willing to go down to 1500, He has the title for the boat buy only has a registration card for the trailer, both titled/registered in NY. Will this be a problem?
Also let me know what you guys think of the boat. I just want a relatively cheap boat for now for now so i can learn the ropes. here is what the ad states,
"For sale is a 1989 18ft Stingray open bow boat with trailer. I have titles for both. Seats 8 people. It runs excellent. start it up and go! The motor was rebuilt in 2005. Newer battery and trailer wheels/tires. Comes with various ropes, a tow behind tube, water skis and life jackets. I also have an extra prop, 2 spare trailer wheels and 2 types of boat covers. Mechanically and structurally the boat is in excellent shape, but the hull paint is a bit faded and the interior shows some wear. All in all its a solid boat $1700 or best offer"
