I'm continuing my search for a boat. Found a '77 today in decent shape. Priced a bit high, I think, at 2K without a trailer. (should I offer 1200 or is that an insult?)
I contacted a dealer who sells Kitty Hawk trailers and while talking about them, he told me that I should be wary of purchasing this boat. He says that the newer boats are manufactured to a higher standard and that the '77 would be more likely to leak (not because it's older per se, but because it's not made as well).
First time I've heard this one but it's given me some pause. Yeah, would love to have a newer boat but either there aren't many around or I'm priced out.
Opinions?
Thanks....
