Key Question: "How many times has it been submerged?" Its also 17 years old, rule of thumb for motor boats is $2k/ft for new ones in that size range. A 21' wouldnt be too comfortable for 4 people for more than a day or two, unless you really like all the people onboard.

Oh, the cost of the boat is just the beginning.
I bought my boat in 1994 for $50,000. 3 years cost me $75,000 cash. The boat payment was only 1/2 the total cost. Gas wasn't that bad - about $1500 a year, it was the maintanence, storage, etc... The 2 happiest days of a boaters life - the day he buys the boat and the day he unloads it. Lot's of fun, but lot's of time and $$.

A lot of people are surprised when they find out how inexpensive used boats are. The REAL expenses of owning a boat are storage and maintenance costs. Be sure you figure out where you are going to berth or park a boat, and what that's going to cost.

Ah, yes. "A boat is a hole in the water that the owner dumps money into."

And don't forget the property taxes in some states! I think dealers should have to mention what the yearly tax load will be whenever you buy a car or boat or other big ticket item.

The thing is trailerable - so you don't need to pay slip fees. The ability to take a boat in and out of the water with little hassle saves alot on maintenance. See if the boat has been surveyed recently and if it has get a copy of the report, if not and your serious about it, get one done. Not saying that your going to spend money on maintenance, just not that much [;)]

Quoted: Ah, yes. "A boat is a hole in the water that the owner dumps money into." I believe the correct quote is: "A boat is a hole in the water you attempt to fill with money. The bigger the boat, the bigger the hole." |

It's usually cheaper to make friends with someone who has a boat. We have a enough friends with boats that we get to go out a few times a year, which is all we would want anyhow, and no upkeep, expense. Hell, we offer to pay for gas and they refuse. Now I just need to find a friend with a private jet. [:D]
