Help with buying 12ft tinnie

[Jigsrule]

Hey fellows

Looking to get a second hand tinnie and need some advice. The boat is an alley craft with a mariner 10hp outboard. Asking price is 5k. What do u guys think?

Cheers
Josh

Hi mate,
I believe that 5K ($5000) is way too much much for this. I think a more realistic price may be at max $1500 with safety gear etc. I would have a mechanic give the motor a once over too.

Geez, you could buy new for that price. Tell him, he's dream'in!

maybe around the 2k mark at most..offer him 1800...a new 1 isnt that uch more than the 5k he wants

Way over priced I paid $5500 for mine it has a 20 hp Honda and a brand new Redco trailer.

Second most of what's been said, a very rich asking price. I paid a bit over 5K in 2005 for a 3.95m Stacer, 30hp Mariner outboard, Dunbier trailer, some safety gear (I had most of it), marine battery/navigation lights fitting, and that included on road/on water costs. I would keep looking, price up some new ones (when I shopped around Stacer gave me pretty good package deals if you opt for Mariner outboards, substantially cheaper than buying say the package with a Yamaha) and yeah, $1,500 is realistic for the rig and if the hull is sound, trailer is all good and motor is good (service history, rough number of hours, compression tests, not corroded) then it's a decent price for the rig.

I just sold a better package than that for $1950. $5000 is absolutely ludicrous. I wouldn't offer a cent over $1500.

[Chamelion]

Let me know what your location, budget and expected use of the boat is and I'll link you to some decent options.

Having recently going trough the buying process, I can tel you that a 12ft tinny with 15 hp and trailer all brand new at NCB was $4950. That included saftey gear and rego's, and that's all brand new with warranty ect.

You could have mine for 5k, but I' not selling.

[Jigsrule]

Really appreciate all the advice guys. Cheers

2k profit to be had there kind_cir;) lol!!!!

I agree with everyone else way over priced if you have 5k to spend id be looking at new rigs.

Mate, I'm selling my tinny. 13ft Stacer tinny w/ floor and a 15hp 4stroke Mercury for $4200! And that's with safety gear, sounder, bilge pump, nav lights THE LOT! It's all 2009 models with bugger all hours. Maybe I should up the price huh?

[PADDLES]

hey jigsy, as a yardstick, a local dealer was offering a stessco 3.85m high side hull, all safety gear and regos, a merc 15hp motor, carpeted floor in the middle and tank rack at the back and a brand new trailer as a boat show special for a shade under $6k. they've still got the same pricing on boatsales.com. why would ya buy second hand?

Cheers mate. Sounds like a decent rig. I think I need to explore my options

[ericcs]

i had a similar motor, a 9.9, and if the decals are original, i think it would be something from the 90's, don't know why the 10hp sticker on the sides?
