i bought my 285 same year for that same price. i think you could talk em down a little bit, start at 3800 and go from there.

Thanks for the input. I am trying to talk him down to 4 thou. but he started at five and i don't thank he's coming down anymore. Whats the difference in the 275 and your boat ? do you have any spider web cracks in the cap ? there not that bad on this boat but there are there.

That price seems pretty high unless the boat/motor has a lot of upgrades.

[Jim C]

Yea i thought so to but in Arizona boats are a little higher than in other parts of the country. right now there is allot of newer boats on the market but i don't thank the people are selling there older boat as much with the way the economy is there not upgrading and there keeping the paid off ones.

I paid 4800 for my 89' 275 pro ,trollin motor, 150GT johnson, 2-depth finders dual live wells, rod locker 3 storage bins

Thanks for your input ! how do you like your 275 ? hows the ride? ii have only rode in one strados and that was in the late 80s at lake mead, and in was a unusually calm day so i did not get a fell on the ride in ruff water.

that don't really sound bad if it is in good shape,around here a river john and old tiller 20hp set up to fish brings 2500.seems that the older boats prices are at about a 3500 dollar bottom price if it's in working order regardless of year.they ride good for a smaller rig.

I had some stress fractures on the bow from the old trolling motor taking a beating one day on the river, but other than that my hull/fiberglass all around is in pretty good condition. The only thing I am looking into is maybe a new clear coat for the glass. I would still try and talk him down as much as possible. Pick out the flaws in the boat i.e. seats, carpet, trailer condition, tires, etc.

I here you there! and i have tried but i thank he is as low as hes going for awhile, He still thanks it's Worth the 5 grand he was asking, and looking at it the second time i noted a place on the back starboard corner that looks like it had some fiberglass work, like maybe someone backed it into something or was hit by something, the work looks real good its just the color is not the same and you have to look close to tell, that really doesn't bother me but it mite hurt the resale as i plane on buying a new boat in a couple years. Im looking at a champion 184 tonight it's 3 years older but has a better trolling motor and better electronics and the same extended deck as the stratos. if the motor is as good i my buy it ,it's only $200 cheaper but better equipped. Thanks for lessening ! sometimes a guy has just got to git hes thoughts out in the open.

[k2rider18]

let me know how it goes......

I will say I have same boat in near perfect condition and really love that boat and gets alot of compliments at the ramp!!!
