Re: Over Valued

Well, if this 23 inboard is "pretty nice" (which the ad does not infer), I'd say she's on the money. Now, there are a few 23 inboards on the east coast showing on Boat Trader claiming to be restored, priced in the 19k - 20k range... That is over priced, in my opinion.
As towards value... any of these old beauties are worth what someone will write the check for, and no more. I feel a mint original is worth as much as a mint restored boat and if I want a restored boat, I'll buy a fixer-upper and do it in a manner that I feel is correct. I don't trust anyone other than Dave Lendzion to upgrade a classic without "pimpin' it".
In closing, I say if the aforementioned 23 inboard is "nice", and it is on a trailer, and there's a little wiggle room in the ask price, I would consider it well bought.
And how anyone can claim a Lancer (other than a 25) is rare is beyond me... sure, it's no 30' Sea Ray, but we here on this forum sure know how to turn them up!!
That's my 2 cents, and it's all I can afford.
