Good luck. I have been looking for over a year now. I have walked away from 3 deals. The bottoms on all of the boats were severely blister. All of the boats needed expense peel jobs ($6000-$8000 depending on the drying time). You also want to pay close attention to engines. Some of the boats I looked at had weak engines. Keep all of these things in mind when negotiating your price.
