Reply to: Fair Price: 2002 Nacra F18 in Canada? / Pre-sales Inspection

Message body

[quote=dave_r]Hey Folks

I wrote a post about using a beach cat for the Inside Passage - thanks to those of you who sent in your ideas (and suggested that I'm not completely crazy).

I found a candidate Nacra F-18 about 200 miles from our home in Calgary and I'm going to have a look at it tomorrow night. It's going for $9400 which feels high for a 10 year boat that (I think) has been stored outdoors.

1. What "show-stoppers" should I be looking for? Assuming:
 
*Any signs of de-lamination, damage from freezing water, etc
* Corrosion in rigging (should have been recently updated)
* Flex in points where the beams mount to hull
* Board, rudder damage
* Conditions of sales

2. The current owner wants $9400 - despite the fact it's in Canada, this feels high to me.

Any suggestions on inspection or pricing?

Thanks in advance!
