Dealer warranty in writing

You asked how not to get ripped off.

I would simply ask if they are going to back up what they say about the boat with a warranty.

10 year old boat, 125 hours is not a lot of use. If it was stored well and maintained then it shouldn't be risky.

What make & model? Some boats are built better than others.

This is it

We have friends that have similar boats and she likes them way better . They sit higher out of the water and handle chop better . That's the only reason I'm even considering it.

If she hates the ride on your cruiser she's really going to hate the ride in that roll bar boat

I concur.

She also doesn't like the ride of your boat because of that other boat. ..lol.

If it was at an auction, it's probably got hidden problems. If they couldn't make the payments, they also couldn't afford the maintenence. ..

Just saying.

Don't buy ANYTHING without a full on test drive.

Check the fluids, especially the vee drive.

If they look super clean or super dirty,  be afraid.

Also FYI, if you look under the dash at that boat, it would turn you off to it forever. Huge pile of crap as far as electrical system.

My good friends have a 2006 and I have virtually rewired the entire boat.

I did some work for Fineline years ago. One step up from a Bayliner imo.

Good luck
