Hello all, Many thanks on having a great forum that's already answered many Q's i've had in my
research on buying a 20-21' bowrider.
Ive been looking at a few different boats locally and I'm a bit torn between a couple I might make offers on.
One is a 13 year old boat with only 110 hours on it and another is 5 years newer with 390 hours on it, both show very well and clean. The $, specs. and almost everything else is very close and almost a wash between them.
The newer higher hour boat does show more signs of use - minor dock rubs,some minor interior wear, nothing that gives me much concern.
The older 14 year old boat shows like new, the gel coat's like a mirror - kind of amazed me really, with the only flaws I could find was a faint 2" spider web on the rear deck and an inch or so of piping on the rear bench that pulled up.
Both of these boats seem to be very well cared for.I am leaning toward the older boat as it did kind of knock me out when I looked at it.
But with it's age and such little use is there anything / negatives I should be concentrating on ?
{All I can think of is to closely inspect the belts and seals on the engine.}
