While I agree with most on here, there is a chance you could get a really good deal on this boat. As long as you know the cost of repair on this boat, you can lowball them...and I mean LOWBALL them....like half the asking price...if that would make sense of the repair cost. That is how I gained the boat in my signature. I was CERTAINLY walking away. I mumbled some hideously low price under my breath...ie..."I wouldn't pay a penny over $xx,xxx for that POS"....and my broker heard me. He relayed that number to the seller and the seller took it. I priced out all of the repairs and I got a boat for significantly less than I was originally willing to pay....meaning significantly less than what we went to survey for. And with the repair costs, I was still WAY under market value. Not only that, I have a bunch of new **** on my boat!!!...like the running gear....all NEW!!!
So don't price out the repairs and then subtract it from the price. Just lowball the **** out of them. It is very obvious that the boat has been neglected(as had been mine). That means the REALLY REALL REALLY want to sell it. They are way past the point of haggling...
Also, the water in the swim platform is a known issue with the older 350s. I think they fixed that issue when they changed it from the 350 to the 390. We all use those two models synonymously but they really aren't. They actually did a few changes to the boat when they changed the name from 350 to 390...in 2000??? A well versed owner could tell you what they did.
In the end, there are numerous 350/390s out there. I personally love the boat. I think they represent great value not to mention they are quite handsome. Just find a number way down low that you think you can live with and if you like this particular boat, hit 'em low...really low and see what they do. Like other things we love the most(dogs and women), we don't find them...they find us!!!!
