1994 Excel 18 foot, Good Deal?

[driver_dav]

I'm looking at this boat next weekend, its a 1994 Excel 18 footer with the Volvo Penta 230, its extremely clean and hes including: Boat trailer cover two tubes ropes tie down ropes anchor 2 life-jackets also have all books on the boat and motor, muffs, and hitch. He's selling for $3,500. Its in the Minnesota market, seem like a good deal? Everything else at this price point is damaged upholstery or soft floors, this is no issues, get in and go

Its a sharp looking boat. Looks fast just sitting on the trailer, lol. Keep in mind it is a 24 year old boat and condition is every thing. You can have a 5 year old boat beat up beyond repair and a 30 year old boat that was driven on Sundays and garage stored in between. I think if you like the boat and its in your budget then go for it.

Beautiful. If the motor runs good, its worth it.

It's a good looking boat. Maybe a little on the high priced side (I'm finding I'm becoming a real cheapskate), but you're not getting hosed if the boat is really in that good of shape. I'd pay extra for one that's been well cared for. Some great stuff to help you look it over HERE.

:welcome:

Yea it's average value from nada is $3k without the value of the trailer, everything around here at that price point is real old, damaged upholstery, or soft floors

If it's as good as it shows in the pics I would jump on it for that price.

Nice looking boat. I would do it in a minute if there are no signs of rot. Give it a thorough once over. New carpet and beautiful upholstery can hide some pretty ugly stuff. ...although I doubt it in this case.

I'd jump on it if I were you. I'm sitting here pricing gas to MN and back.....

I think it's all original
