Friend looking for a bow rider

[Steve500dancer]

Hello everyone, I am typically on the sport crusier board. However, I have a good friend looking 2005 Sea Ray 205 bowrider with 120 hrs, 5.7 motor, it has the the sun pad. It has a couple of small dings on it. Other then that it is a clean boat. The guy is asking 21k. Does that seam like a good price and is their anything to be looking for on the 05's that he should know

Thanks
Steve

Tell us some more about the options, sounds kind of high. Now with that said there will be differences depending on your area.

Maybe he'd be interested in a 240SD Chuck:grin:

You never know, but I can tell you it is going to go for more than 21K. :grin:

I'm also shopping for a 176 or 185 v6 and prices do seem high as compared to the NADA values. Most folks seem around 2g higher than the book high retail
Good Luck

21k???? Yeah that's really high in my area any way. About 8k too high.

Great advice guys, He has decided to go with a new 205 with the FI 5.0, bimini top and several other options. He has them down to around 29k on an 2010. The dealer told him that the 2011 will be 5k higher because of the catalytic convertors. not sure how true that is but it sold him I think. Oh he also got the trailer that the tongue folds up on. What do you guys think about that price.

Thanks
Steve
