98 air nautilus

Going to look at this boat in a little while. Anyone have any advice on what to look for? Think 11k is a fair deal?

Sorry for the title....didn't notice the auto correct

Did the boat sink? Why is everything filthy? I'd pass for that money you can find a much cleaner boat with correct trailer.

Apparently first owner left it outside. Vinyl is starting to crack in some areas but other areas it's solid. Mechanically he's done a great job with it. Has been used in brackish water, but that's where I'm going to be using it too. the trailer is in great shape. It's not aluminum but I haven't seen one yet. it's not in the best shape cosmetically, but I'm not very concerned with that anyway. So with all that in mind, is consensus it's not a fair deal?

I'd still pass that boat looks, it looks like you're trying to talk yourself into buying this boat?

It's the middle of winter why would you settle for a boat that has a destroyed interior and 850 hours.

Since it's winter, I'd shoot for maybe $9K, but the boat better check out as JUST dirty..

NO WAY. That thing screams money pit. That level of obvious neglect and use in brackish water? Maybe if you lived in some foreign country and there were just no other used boats available...or if it was your dad's old one and he gave it to you. I'm sure you could spend time and money and get it looking nice but why? Way too many other options out there
