    Buying a boat that’s sat for 5 years

    I have an update for everyone, I bought a boat! Not the boat the post is about, but a different one. I picked up this 1999 Bayliner Capri 1850 SS.

    Buying a boat that’s sat for 5 years

    Lol it’s not a done deal. As much as I like the layout of the boat I am going to pass. I posted this for advice, I received advice, and now I’m going to follow it.

    That’s what I tried telling him. The NADA value I came up with was around $6900-$7900. He showed me the NADA value he had printed out. He added a bunch of options on it to raise the estimated value to $11,000.

The boat has sat outside for about 5 years and is in rough shape so I’m a little hesitant on getting it. The hour meter says it only has 260...
