There is a older guy that lives by me that is selling a old boat for 400.00. All i know it is a powercat don't know the year it is. He was in the hospital last year and his son clean his house. So he is still looking for the title. The tag on the transom has been painted over. Is there away to remove the paint without messing up the tag. Is the boat worth it?

The boat looks like junk to me. If the motor runs and has good compression on all cyclinders, maybe offer him $200. The trailer is hard to tell, maybe worth junk for steel, or $100. The boat is all rot. Depends on if you can scrap the boat free, might cost you money to scrap it.

Re: Buying boat help

That boat/trailer package is only worth what you can scrap it out for. How much is your time and labor worth?
