I don't believe Sea Ray made a 18' bow rider with the 3.0. It more than likely is the 17' Seville with 120 HP 3.0. NADA list the Seville for average condition, at $1630. I just purchased a 1996 175 Sea ray bow rider in perfect condition for $4700. I think he is a little high, I would offer maby $2800, take it or leave it.

Actually, highest bid was $2125 but it was under his reserve so it didn't sell. His Buy It Now was $3600. I couldn't get to see it so I wasn't going to bid - I've been emailing him and am interested in working a deal privately for a fair price. From what I've gathered, $3600 is too high so I'm looking at the $2800 range as suggested previously.

I can tell from the building in one of the pictures that the boat is (or was) at Mariner's Choice Marine in York. A dealer. Interesting that he's listing boats on eBay. Or maybe the owner just had it there for storage or repair?

Pics show Delaware reg so I'm thinking that that's where the guy bought the boat and the pics (or at least a few of them) are old?
