Hello I would like to say I just joined your site and have already learn more in the three hours about boats then I knew before. I am looking at a boat and it is a:
1998 Javelin 400 Dual console, 20ft bass boat, 225 Evinrude Vindicator (1998) motor, tandem axle trailer, 2 fish finders, Motorguide trolling motor, on board battery charger, hydraulic steering, stainless steel prop
The guy is asking 6950 for it. Is this sound like a good deal or should I keep looking.
Thanks for your input
Mark
Welcome to the boards Mark this sounds like a good deal to me. I own a 99 stratos dual console and I love mine, just make sure you look it over good and see if they will let you take it for a spin. The gurus about these boats will be along shortly with more info about them.
I had a 95 model that I sold for $9,400 back about a year ago...
If it is in good shape and the motor checks out I would say BUY IT. Great hull, fast and handles big water well. I have a 96 400TE and it has not let me down at all and it looks as good as some of the other brands NEW boats.

Nice trailer!</TD></TR></TABLE>
Yep and its not bad
Thanks for comments, its got a scratch or two but still does the job. I would love to have one of these new 200's I see you guys with, but too hard to let this one go and then take a big monthly payment. Would love to put a 225HO ETEC on this thing and see what she would do then, I am getting low 70's now so I am pretty happy with it.
I just bought a 97 400 tdc with a 150 faststrike for $6k....if you don't buy it I would love to have his contact info.
nice looking boat, i have a 96 400 TSD, 225 Johnson, had it about 6 years, love everything about it, sounds like a good deal
Thats way below book, especially with the tandem trailer. Sounds like a good deal if everything checks out okay. 98 is the first year javelin went all composite so that's a good thing in itself.
