New boat ... this year?

IMO 8k is a lot considering it will need stringers (your words). With the boat at 8 and new stringers somewhere around 4-5, your quickly approaching the low end of your new boat budget.

Unless someone is really looking for a bravura, or unsuspecting they would more likely dig out another couple grand and with a newer vdrive like you are.

At that price you will have to find someone that will only buy a Bravura and is willing to put the 4k or so on stringers, its a 4k or so boat IMO........
