Greetings,
This is my first post. I do not own a boat currently, but have a bit of experience at the helm of vessels up to 26'.I have been on the lookout for a boat for some time, (ever since I was a little kid to be exact). I saw a 1975 23' this afternoon, and stopped to investigate. It has the original deck on it, which looked solid though I didn't stand on it. Asking price was $5500. Price included a '96 Merc 200, and no trailer. The price struck not only myself, but a long time Mako owner/enthusiast, as low. Looked the boat over for some time, and it seemed pretty clean, could use some cosmetics. When I examined the transom, there was a crack that seemed to be more than gloss coat, right where the cutout begins. Could this account for the low price, and is that a deal breaker when buying a boat?? Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
