Need some help - ASAP

[grumpy old man]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and am a 67yoa about to make my first, and I hope my last, major boat investment. I saw a 96 cobra 20' with a Johnson v6 200hp fingerport motor. It has virtually all the options and its original trailer. It looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Can any of you give me any advice about Cobra's and what I should look for, also I realize that 8500 might be a stiff price but as I said it looks cherry. Is that too far off the norm.

I'll appreciate anything you guys/gals can tell me.

is that boat at the boat dealer in livingston on the south side of the road. i am drawing a blank on the name of the dealer. if so, i saw it today on my way home from the lake. it was parked out by the highway and caught my eye for 2 reasons. 1. first cobra i've seen in that neck of the woods and 2. the gelcoat looked like it just came off the showroom floor. it looked sharp. i honestly think you should be able to get that boat for 7500-7900 unless it has some expensive electronics.

Lawrence, also sent you another IM. If you didn't get it you'll have to unlock your pop-up blocker for the BBC website because IM's are pop-ups. $8500 is too high!
