Ranger Boat purchase opinions needed
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2007 6:05 pm
An old Army friend has a 1989 Ranger 364V Comanche with a 115HP Merc engine. Engine is a 1993...he bought the boat new and say's it's in very good condition...everything that is supposed to work..works...engine runs strong..Rangertrail Trailer with chrome wheels...garage kept....wants $6500. What do ya think? I've done some searches and only found two 1989 364's listed..both were more expensive..and some of the earlier years (1988-1985) were ever more...as high as $13K.
He's selling it because he has another 1989 Ranger 361 with a 150..which he also bought new..and no longer uses the 364.
He was a guide on Lake Pickwick and bought both boats..used one for guiding, and the other as a personal boat (to keep the write-offs straight). I know the guy has always taken care of his stuff...so it's not a beater.
Sound like a fair deal? He lives in Illinois and will trail the boat to Florida in February to fish with it on Lake Toho with me....if I like it..He'll leave it with me.
Opinions...please.
