Update.... Scooter Wayne was right on this one. Once I got the boat in the sunlight and had a longer conversation with the owner I soon realized that this boat was going to be a money trap
7000 + 5000 in cleaning and refurbish maybe
Thanks
Quick Question do you guys with the soft transoms and stringers typically leave your boats in the water all season? And You probably have a much longer season then us up her in Northern MI.
Out of all the boats I have owned I may have been ignorant, lucky or had a boat that was never moored...
I agree with your logic. I highly doubt 11000 is going to buy a better boat than I already own that isnt going to need repairs in the future. The 270 looks like it has a lot more room to work in the engine bay than the 220 I have. Just a lot more boat to have towed if I break down.
The wife is...
Moved this to here seems like a better fit for my question
I am looking to upgrade from my 1989 Sea ray 220 CC to a 1987 Sundancer 270
It has the infamous twin Mercruiser 470 170hp/3.7L engines
The boat exterior and cabin etc look to be in really good shape and clean. The boat has lots of...
Anybody else have any opinions
I think 7000 is a tad on the low extreme; unless of course you end up having to replace both motors. It is a well kept boat and has all the extras everybody wants
But scooter wayne and others on the forums got me thinking now.....
True
What do you think is a good price for that boat.
I haven't paid him yet. I did make an offer though and he accepted. Quickly now that I think about it. He wanted 13900 so the psychology of a sale took over....
Man Nobody likes this boat:huh:
$11000 is really not that high when you do a nation wide search for that boat and triple axle trailer $11000-15000 is what I have consisently seen
I really like the way the boat looks.

Yeah I know just srewing around seeing if I can hit the lotto. Don't think I'll own the boat long enough to justify a full custom camper.
What keeps me looking is there was at one time somebody on here that beached a 220cc on the rocks and was parting it out & included a blue camper setup...
Well I had a similiar thing just happen to me and my top end is cooked. I lost fluid somehow from a failed seal. Ended up bogging my engine down before it blew an upper seal and things got really messy. Check your bildge area for any gear lub of water coming in, leaking oil out of your drive...
