Actually... I bet I saw at least 4 people browsing and the guy who I was conversing with via e-mail was with another potential buyer when I got there.
I've done a bit of research. I think what I offered for a 1 year old boat with 187 hours on the engine is good. The hull warranty is 10 years and the Suzuki motor warranty is 5 from original date of purchase. The aluminum trailer looks to be in good shape, too... bunks look good, leaf springs not rusted and it has disk surge brakes. Minor wear on the bolsters, and some gashes in the bait tank lid (from cutting bait, I bet). A few things they need to tighten up and it needs a good scrubbing but if they agree to the offer they'll clean the hell out of it, first.
A brand new one is 41k with a canvas t-top and 150 hp engine. This one has a solid fiberglass top, compass, twin simrad fish finders, a 200 hp engine, bluetooth stereo with 4 speakers and a trailer. So likely around what they're asking brand new.
