Did I Get A Good Deal?

[RyneB]

i have been looking into a used glass bass boat for awhile now. My local marina had a 2000 Ranger R81 with a EFI 150 in really good condition. They were asking $10,000. I thought that was a little high so we started negotiating. After about 30 min of talking. He offered me $11,000 out the door. I asked for 2 Humminbird 597 CI HD DI units, new leather on the seats, taxes, and my first 2 years they will winterize my boat free of cost. And he agreed. This boat was in very good condition. In a lot better shape than some of there 2010 and up used boats. So, did i get a good deal? Or did i take it up the shorts?

Cash? Or finance? If cash you could of just made a ride to fl an got a 05 nitro or a 05 triton for 11k cash beautifull boats seen in person an wow is all I can say.

but I'm guessing you made out in a way.

For what you got, I don't think that's a bad deal. Did you get any kind of warranty / guarantee on the motor? Either way if you are happy about it that's all that matters.

no warranty and i had to finance it. The previous owner was a outboard mechanic and kept the outboard in great running condition.

It's an ok deal. I've been looking at used boats for a solid year now, and have seen a boatload of the non-Comanche '98-02 Rangers. I'd say your price is pretty typical of asking prices that you'll find on Craigslist. Some R81, 83 or R91 93s go for around $9-10k, some even lower, at least here in MN.
