Is Mark Twain a good boat?

[frogman2]

Hi, <br />Can anyone out there tell me how good Mark Twain boats are? My inlaws are looking a '85 25ft. mid cabin with a 260hp. Its a little worn looking but clean. The big problem is that the cabin windows, hatch and deck fittings seemed to have been leaking a lot (stains all over the cabin) and the plywood floor in the cabin is warped from water damage (I think). <br />Just wondering if we can fix the leaks and it is mechanicall sound, is Mark Twain a good boat???? Their asking price is $9000 with trailer and new camper top.<br /><br />Thanks!

In-laws.... hmmmm <br /><br />Check this web site http://www.nadaguides.com/ for the worth of the boat and the listed value is needing NO WORK. Basically they are asking too much and from the "son in law" !!!!!<br /><br />If the motor is in good shape yes all the problems are repairable. They do demonstrate that there was a lack of maintenance and care.<br /><br />Just be careful.<br /><br />Yes they are good boats.<br /><br />Bob Had a great day on Lake Champlain today!
