New to boating. Looking for a family boat for the lake and river. Its just my wife and baby. I will wakeboard and fish a little... She just enjoys the sun.
We've been looking at this boat, a 94 donzi medallion 212:

It's got about 500hrs, the engine is very clean and sounded great on muffs. Gears sounded good as well.
The owner wants 7 and not willing to go lower, nada is around 6200. Sounds like he overpaid and thinks because it only has 500hrs that it drives the price above nada.
I like that it's an all fiberglass boat. My concerns are that he recently threw away the cover and Bimini because they needed replacing. So I would need to but those. Also, is this price too high?
We've considered ski boats or sea rays in the same age range, the ski boats are around the same price but not as roomy. The sea rays seem about 1/2 the price.
Appreciate any thoughts. We do really like the boat, just would like it to be about $6k instead.
