Hi,
i am on the market trying to decide if it would be a good option to get a 310 or 320 sundancer, i think about years 1999-2002, prior to 2003 model change and also think about $40k-$60k price range. Is it a realistic thing to expect to find a decent boat in acceptably good condition in such price range? Does it make sense to extend search into older boats, back to 1995 or would it be asking for too many problems?
also, is it really a good choice of a vessel for Boston harbor area and occasional trips from Boston to cape cod? Or is this boat way too small and fragile to cruise into deep water out of the bay area?
Purpose of the boat will be 100% family recreation, kids are 8 and 4 yr old so we think it would be nice to get it to go between harbor area islands, do some fishing, nothing extreme. But looking on boatstrader it is not clear what is the deal with prices as i see all boats claimed as 'ready to go' but prices differ a lot. What is now a 'usual' price level for such vessels? Is it realistic to find a freshwater kept 310 or 320 in around Boston? Is there here anybody who owned such a boat and had issues with it? Is it strong enough to survive our noreasters?
I just started research/shopping so sorry for a lot of such silly questions but i guess it is exactly what this forum is for, right?
Regards, Paul
