A 150 Fast strike is a carbed looper.

Unless they disconected it, yes it is oil injected.

Starcraft or Baja interest me, but I would be driving the price down a bit.

Gman: The market up here sux. Anything I look at that's mid 80's to mid 90's is over $5K. Probably because we only get 3 or 4 months use per year so the hours:age ratio is pretty low, but I agree... it's still a 20+ year old boat. I'll definitely be looking to get the price dropped, but don't want to **** anyone off with a low-ball offer either.

I guess my comment did sounds a bit like a low balling, didnt mean it that way, just seems hight to me, but as you said, you're in a different market...

Pernosally I like the Rinker, but it all depends on your in person evaluations.

Re: opinions on these boats

Well boys... I'm no longer an iBoats lurker asking stupid questions about which boat to buy. I just pulled the trigger on the Baja. It's in great shape for a 24 year-old boat. engine is spotless, transom is solid, interior shows it's age but only one stretch and a couple scuffs are the only damage. Fired it up and it sounded beautiful. I phoned the company that he takes it to for maintenance and they knew him by name and were very familliar with his boat. Trailer is like new with bearing buddies. I'm super-stoked!! :D. He didn't come down much in price, but the market here and the other guy waiting in his car to have a look kinda put the pressure on.

Yay! I'm a boat OWNER!... now so much to learn :eek:
