THIS IS A BOAT I'M EYEING RIGHT NOW. IT IS AN 84, 20 FT ELIMINATOR. IT HAS A 496 AND A BERKELY PUMP. GEL COAT IS A LITTLE FADED. INTERIOR LOOKS GOOD OTHER THAN THE MOTOR COVER WHICH WILL NEED TO BE REDONE DUE TO ROTTING IN THE CORNER. NEWER MODEL TRAILER WITH PRETTY GOOD WHEELS. WONDERING IF $6500 IS TOO MUCH AND IF SO WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD OFFER.

IN THE PROCESS OF SHOPPING AROUND RIGHT NOW FOR MY FIRST JET BOAT. I'VE OWNED JET SKIS FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS AND READY TO GET SOMETHING MORE FAMILY READY. JUST CURIOUS WHAT ARE SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO LOOK AT WHEN BUYING. I GOT MY EYE ON AN 84 ELIMINATOR WITH A 496 AND A BERKELY. IT HAS BEEN USED IN SALT WATER. IS THERE ANYTHING OTHER THAN OBVIOUS SALT SCALE(CORROSION) TO LOOK OUT FOR IN A SALT WATER BOAT. ALSO JUST GENERAL CONCERNS TO PAY ATTENTION TO ON ANY JET BOAT.

THANKS IN ADVANCE
