What do you guys think?

27k plus or minus

The average retail on that rig is $27,230.

one thing that kind of irks me on that is the fact that he pulled off both the main prop and the trolling motor prop, both of which can be very good indicators of how hard a boat has been used and the condition that the boat is in. He also completely stripped the boat and the carpets look very worn as well. Other than that the rig looks pretty clean, but be very careful buying sight unseen. He also wants a $500 payment right after sale

No electronics either,  $500 just after the sale seems shady to me,  I did not see anywhere where it said it could be refunded if you were not satisfied with the boat,  unless I looked over it,  regardless,  If I can't drive it first,  it's not worth much at all,  I will say she is a good lookin ride though.

The boat was a repo unit, the original owner removed the electronics and prop. They also did a compression test and all cylinders are 118-120. The $500 is just a deposit, which of course goes towards the final price.

why is the lower unit removed in the 28th picture from the top? (10th picture from bottom)

It was replaced 

[Koofy Smacker]

Ya, I can understand if it was a repo unit that they would take the electronics and props since they arent designated as part of the boat itself and they are the owners property, but I wouldnt risk that on ebay. If you could get a mechanic to look at the motor first, since the lower unit was replaced then I would say do it but your taking a big risk on a boat that seems to have had a few impacts.

Looks like it was used hard to me. Dont think I would take the chance. Another thing to think about if the owner knew they would loose it, I don't think they'd treat it like a baby.

I went and saw this boat and its in decent shape. Used but good shape, and I am not expecting something "perfect". Little knick knack pieces here and I think spending another $2000 will restore it back to show room condition. *DONT FORGET ITS USED* we aren't buying a new boat.

sounds like your the one selling the boat, and trying to get more views for your ad. 

a 2007 boat and the lower unit had to be replaced? no props? and the ad doesn't even mention that they replaced the lower unit. I might buy it for 10K but not going to risk more than that. sounds like the boat was rode hard and put away wet

Ya ok... not gonna scam anybody here champ.  That thing looks pretty beat for only an '07 IMO. I agree with AFoster, I'll take it for 10k otherwise too much risk.
