Guys now I’m laughing!
any 45’ boat for $10,000 isn’t a boat, it’s a career waiting for you.
Take this seriously.
The most expensive boat on the market is the one with the cheapest price tag for it’s size and configuration.

I hear you loud and clear, but my brain hears you in Mandarin. Somehow I have always found a way to convince myself that $50,000 now with ten $10,000 projects is cheaper than $100,000 now. If you pay it out over time and spend less up front, well that's the American way. Isn't that why there are car salesmen?
Seriously. I think that the boat I am looking at is unique. I cannot find a single piece of information about it on the net, it is the original owner, and I like the design. I hear the builder is good. What if I get lucky and the cost to repair is less or not even needed at all? Yeah right, what if my aunt had balls? I get it. There is just something about the hunt and the unknown. The what if. I guess that is why we have the lottery. I could be a winner. I also have a better chance of being struck by lightning. It sure is easier to shell out 50 now rather than 100. So I just have to take the noose off of the current owner and place it around my neck. Whats so hard about that? Bill
PS- I am still going to investigate this boat. I can't help myself, plus I should learn quite a bit.
PSS- That 100,000 or 150,000 boat could end up with the same issues, they may not just present themselves now. Steel tanks and stringers can go anytime.

In general I really liked the boat. . . Do I want to pay and put up with the hassle and know what I have, or pay more and purchase without the issues? This season is almost over. Could I find a yard that would do it right and for a fair price? Maybe more questions than I want to work to find the answers to. I am guessing the owner might not like my offer too much either. .

Git Rot? Or a knock off?

Thanks BandB. The asking price is about 12k under what the survey stated as a market value. I can only assume they figured the 12k drop was to cover to repair cost? What really scares me is that this boat is located on the great lakes so the unknown number of freeze thaw cycles and what extra damage it has caused to the core and stringers.
