03' sante 210

[kx250frider617]

I am looking for a newer boat and found an 03' SANTE 210 in my area. It has around 580hrs but has been used in salt a little bit. That doesn't bother me since I will be using it in salt also. The boat is in immaculate condition and is in perfect shape for being 11 years old. The trailer is corroded, no brakes, so is basically worthless. The listing right now is at $27k but was at $33k a year ago.

here is the listing. https://www.boattrader.com/listing/2...que-210-351205

My only concerns: the size, I'm coming from a 97' centurion elite bow rider and a 01' tige 2100v. Both boats were larger. Also, I plan on either installing a fresh water flush or a full closed cooling, but is closed cooling even worth it on an engine with close to 600hrs? Im very detailed and flush with salt away right away. The trailer looks to be in decent shape to through some paint on and run it for awhile. The goal would be to have a galvanized or aluminum trailer made.

Whats your thoughts on this boat? What's the lowest price I could offer him?

I called about that one and it sold last week. Personally, I think he could have asked for more. I was going to offer full asking price, but someone beat me to the punch. Not sure what it actually sold for. I was willing to have it shipped to me, because it was a sharp looking boat.
