It looks a little steep to me but I'v never bought a boat before

thanks, Kyler

It is a nice boat but is way steep IMO. In my area the guy would be lucky to get half that.

offer him $1200 cash and that seams like a good deal.

large boat, no leaks, great trailer (no rust), boat appears to have no dents. I'd buy it :!: :!:

You need to update your profile and add your location. I'm gathering your in or around Minneapolis?

To actually know what its worth you need to see what similar boats in your area selling for. One person's opinion of its worth might be different than the next guys. Lund is a wonderful brand, in alaska just the hull might sell for $3,000 :shock: In florida that boat might only sell for about $600 :| Around here in MI, you could expect to pay somewhere in the $750 ballpark.

At the end of the day, its all about location, supply & demand of your area. :wink:

I saw that one pop up a few times. I think it used to have an outboard as well. Have you taken a look at it yet? That's about the going rate for a Lund and Trailer from what I have seen around here. I could maybe check it out, if you like.

His username has "Chaska" in it, a suburb of the Twin Cities. I'm in Duluth, 3 hours away.


He did have an outboard with it. Must have sold the outboard for around $750 I would guess and adjusted his price.

He even listed it over a month ago, without the motor for $1550. This one says it's a '66

I wasn't saying you needed to be :lol: I only know because I have family in the next town over. Don't blink, or you'd miss it. I was supporting the hypothesis.
