I'll be going to check out this boat soon. Would be my first boat on my own (as my parents always had them.) I've looked at a handful of boats so far, most in dilapidated condition (leaks, rot). Does anyone here have long-distance opinions of how this looks?

- Been listed for sale for nearly a year. Speculate why?
- Price might be high? Few for sale, but saw a similar one in FL for half the price..
- Anything to look for?
- Owner claims tow weight is 4,500 lb. Does that seem accurate? My Honda pilot 4wd is rated at 5k lb. (I'd keep it in a marina, probably little or no trailering)
This is just an initial assessment, I'd get a survey if I want to buy. Assuming it's good, since the owner struggle to offload it I'm thinking I'd make any offer at least a couple thousand below list? I think NADA average is like $10k..
Appreciate any input.
Thanks
