I have come across a marine dealer that has bought some scratch and dent boats from smokercraft. Keep in mind these are brand new boats that have never seen water, a title, or a motor. They come as the boat only and you have the option of getting a trailer with it, which I would be doing.
The first boat I was interested in was a 14' Pro Mag, and some guy beat me to the punch. All it had was 4 holes in the transom where the bolts were removed, very easy fix.....I was going to write a check to them and pick the boat up....but guess not.
Anyway, here is the latest boat they have. It's a Smokercraft 16' Big Fisherman, 2008 model, never been titled, seen water, or had a motor on it. This is a scratch and dent model that the dealer bought from the factory. There were a couple holes in the hull that were welded back at smokercraft's factory. And the dealer is still honoring the 1 year structural warranty on it, which makes me feel better. My question is, this should be a good fix right? It's been welded and painted by smokercraft and still has the warranty. For me to buy this it would be around $3500 w/ brand new trailer out the door.....
Opinions please!!
