Looking at a 1988 Sorento 23ft. Please help

[gsxrmatt]

After searching for weeks and weeks I came across this boat. Its a 23ft Sorento. New paint, New interior and looks like new from the pictures. However the boat comes without a trailer. Its listed at a dealer and I feel the pricing is way off. Its listed for $7595 and after speaking with the dealer they informed me its been there since last season. He advised the boat is very nice and its just been a hard sell due to no trailer. The dealer did mention a used trailer is available for $2500. So pending the boat is sound and super clean what is it worth? What to look for when buying? Are manifolds an issue on this boat? Book Value on NADA is at $5300.

I am new to glass boats, so don't take my input as wisdom. I would rather point out what it is you are willing to deal with (cabling, alternator, wiring, engine) and attempt to slow down your roll if you are putting excitment for the current season over the following one. You mention new paint, and since I can see you are from the South, is that normal? What is new interior? Is that simply covers for the foam and a cleaning or is it repair to counters and wood? Now for the cost- I am of the opinion that if it meets your criteria for a couple of years and you are not in a loan situation, then very subjective. Last is the trailer. $2500 seems a little cheap when I would think it hits salt.

Hope to hear what the decision is and any other input you get from the others on this forum. It is the best boat forum I have seen when getting replies that make sense.
