Hey guys, I am new to the site and it's my first post. I am currently looking to buy a 1980 SeaRay Sundancer Cabin Cruiser. The guy says "Boat has good hull,galley w/ stove,frige,sink,seperate bathroom with flush-able toilet,nice interior,compass,clean title,trailer has surge brakes w/ permanant trailer registration.Needs 350 V8 motor work."
My question is for $1000 is this a good opportunity? Worst case scenario that I had to replace the 350 V8, what are we looking at, $ wise? I have read on this site these older boats are great. What should I look for when I do the walk around? I am new to boating. I have never owned a boat, but I am good at repairing and putting sweat and tears into a this project. <br>I have seen restored boats of this same year and model to sell around $7K. So of course I am thinking it's worth it but please let me hear from you. Thanks for all your help and advice.
