Hi everyone! I'm a lady looking to buy her first boat for use on the Upper Chesapeake Bay and rivers. I've decided an older Sea Ray no bigger than 22' is best for us. I basically want a boat for short trips, running around, rafting up, just being outside. I found a 1988 Sea Ray 22' Seville Cuddy Cabin. The 4.3 Mercruiser I/O has a little over 1000 hours and owner says it runs great. The pictures really look like the boat has been cared for. He is the 2nd owner and comes with all the safety stuff and trailer with new tires and Bimini top and cockpit cover. The boat is currently in the water at his house and he is willing to do a sea trial. Owner says he is PCSing (moving) and that is why he is selling.
Does this sound like something that would a good first boat? I was raised on the water in VA but haven't had a boat up here yet. What would be a fair price estimate ?
Thanks everyone!
