trying to get some impressions on this boat and motor in order to get back into boating - I saw this ad in a local paper:
it's an '05 Monterey FS180 bowrider - 135HP volvo penta - about 100 hours on the motor - trailer too.
it's been bottom painted, says both fresh and saltwater usage. he's the original owner, boat pics seem clean, carb was redone last year - i think he'd let it go for 10k, although i see that Nada retail is between 9k and 10k
my biggest concern is the saltwater usage - whether it was flushed etc. but being a 2005 with 100 hours, i would think it's not been used all that much
I had a 2001 crownline 230CCR with a 5.0 mercruiser in the past - so I'm not 'new' to boats but would like any opinions on the Monterey you have
your thoughts on the Monterey are appreciated:
thanks
