Okay, I'm gonna lay it all out on the line here and I'm hoping you guys can help steer me straight- tomorrow I'm scheduled to buy a 1993 25' DV
walk-around. here is what I know- 5.7 Volvo duo prop, 950 hrs., hard top, DV (21 degrees) , elec. include radar, 2 yr old furono sounder, VHF,
Garmin GPS 182, spotlight, bose stereo sys.,
I have seen the boat and sea trialed it w/ captain. She appears to be very clean, and captain sounds as though he has kept up maintenence very well.
engine runs very smooth in 1-2ft. seas she maxed out at 30kts. and cruised real nice at 20kts.
If I buy this boat it will be my 3rd boat. 1st was a 21' wellcraft cc, 2nd was/is a 25' wellcraft coastal.
My reaction to this ride was WOW, this wide beam is SOO much more stable than my Wellcraft and I was surprised to look down at the gps and see that we were going 30kts when it 'felt" like we were going 18kts in my WC.
anyway, my gut tells me this is the boat. Even with the 950hrs., I feel like this boat will be worth repowering when the time comes. (but when will the time come???)
Asking price is $17k
Is this a no-brainer??
