Check it out!
I go see a 1998 Ultra Custom LX. Its a berk jet with a 454/340hp motor. The boat is clean except that it is obviously dirty. No big deal I say. I'm no stranger to elbow grease. It has a big scratch in the gel coat(probably from the bimini) on the side of the boat and the valve cover gaskets are just a little bit wet with oil.....It starts on command and everything is functional. The trailer is clean...a little rust from being left outside but clean...The boat has approximately 154 hours....I offer 2k less than what he is asking for the boat. In previous conversations he says its a negotiable price...he shoots back with the original price...I walk
Oh by the way, the NADA lists the boat at my first offer. He says its worth every penny. Am I A F**king Idiot
Nope, if you think thats what the boat is worth to you, then offer that much. Depending on how much you like the boat would be how long you wait to re-offer (higher bid or the same is up to you), but waiting is the risk you run of the boat being sold. Also depends on how many similar boats are out there that you like, there seem to be a lot of the ultra 21' jets for sale atm, so that guy might have some trouble getting top $ for his boat right now and come down a little if you keep at him. Just bought a boat a couple weeks ago and it really became my full time job while I was laid off, I never knew it would be that much work. Whats he asking btw and got a link to the boat?
