MAte looks ok. Do you research hit boatpoint, ebay and trading post to find market value. Also find a good marine mechanic to look over the boat and motor. There is a couple of guys here do inspections depending on where you are, well worth the bucks.

Cheers Andy, im in Hervey Bay QLD and boats in Sydney. Seems to be a good price and cant see much could be wrong with it but will take your advice and arrange to have someone look it over.

I am not real sure on the pricing but to me it looks like a pretty good deal. Make sure you get the engine checked out and ensure there are no structural issues and you will have a great little rig to get the young bloke into it.
