Looks nice but I wouldn't pay that much for it unless the stringers had been recently redone.

With that tower and pp it's worth about that much if the stringers are solid. Looks to be in great condition.

That is a pretty boat. If I had my druthers my boat would be that color. The add says the trailer is new. When I looked into a new trailer for mine a couple years ago they were 3K. It also has perfect pass which is almost impossible to find used and costs at least a 1K. So new trailer, PP and tower are worth something. But I'm afraid if the stringers are shot or close, that is still a 6K plus job if you have it done which puts this as a decent priced boat only if the stringers check out.

The sad thing is that because it's at a dealership they won't know anything about its history. I'd want to know about the stringers obviously, but I'd also want to know why the trailer was replaced. If someone took that good care of the boat, why did the trailer need replacing?

[inair]

I agree there are going to be questions that the dealer will not be able/willing to answer. But the trailer issue could be quite simple. The boat could have lived in a dry stack at a marina like mine did and not been delivered with a trailer.

This boat is at a dealer not far from my office. If someone is serious and wants another set of eyes on it - let me know.

I sold my 87 Saltare for $10,500 with no tower. It was in great shape but not as pretty a color as that one.

If I was in the market, I would jump on this like a fat kid on a cupcake. While you don't know it's history because it's at a dealer, do you think you know it's true history from some guy selling it from his house? You have to find out it's history on your own through proper inspection, dealer or not.

Work this guy down to under $9k and I'd say you have a great boat to start with.

Hell I'm tempted as hell myself. :D If it didn't have the tower on it, I'd really consider it.

Haugy, buy mine for $10,900 (no tower) and I'd be happy to upgrade to a boat with a tower. This is my boat's twin and for the cost of dragging it home I'd love to get a New Dimensions Tower.

Price is right considering that tower and PP add up around $3k.

What is the length of a / this Saltare?

[Ptownkid]

23 foot or so

[TitanTn]

I think it's 23.4 for the boat. Gotta add about 2.5 feet for the rest of the trailer for overall length.

[ckracing]

I thought 23' something. Won't work on my lake - has to be 20'...

[MDVols]

Right at 24'. They are a beast.
