Ok guys here is my situation, I am throughly disgusted and need some advice. I purchased a 95 Larson 174 for about $5250 from a guy in december. Ran it briefly before the sale and bought it. Now knowing what to look for nothing stood out as being a problem. I have since invested, $950 in motor repairs, oil seals...Also another $400 in other misc items, shift cable, steering cable, etc...
I don't have the means to repair this boat, I was givin a rough estimate of $1500 to fix the transom. I am supposed to get a firm estimate tommorrow...the shop currently has the boat...
What do I do? Do I cut my losses here? I cant' sell it, I would feel like an ***** so that is completly out of the question. I can't take it back to the guy or even so much as whine about it...as is sale...
Do I ditch this and just go buy new? Do I keep on fixing problems as they come up. The way I see it...stringers/floor are good. Motor is good, outdrive is good. What else should I check? I mean $1500-$2000 is cheaper then a brand new boat. But then again...
ideas?
