What do you guys think? Hows the price?

Doesn't seem too out of line to me. Looks like a decent buy, though I'm not too familiar with Nautica.

A fellow diver just headed down to San Diego to pick up a Nautica 18 with a 115. I probably won't see it for a month or two though.

I saw that other Nautica 18 for sale in SD. 1998 hull and 1998 Yamaha 115. I was going to go check it out when I got home (out of town for work). You've saved me a phone call knowing it's gone already!

[jyasaki]

Not sure if it's gone. A diver on one of my maillists said he was heading down and returning with it (assuming the same boat.)

I do not know if the sale has been completed or if he was looking then probably buying. And I don't know if he's actually headed down (he's a Bay Area guy.)

"You mean I have a chance?" I'll call the guy tomorrow when I'm home....$8,800 seems very reasonable.

I saw That one. It's a good buy. If its sold cruse up to Dana Point and I'll take you for a ride. BTW I'm installing a Garmin 640 GPSMAP with a flush mount. More pictures to come.

I just looked at the title. The hull is a 1998 and the motor is the same year...My Bad

I ended up not buying the boat in SD so its still available.. Unfortunately the guy misrepresented the boat to the point that I didnt feel comfortable with the deal... If you want more details Ill be happy to provide them.

So I guess that means Im still looking!

Phil, I sent you a PM the other day....I was wondering what was wrong with the Nautica in SD. He's relisted it on craigslist: 18' Nautica RIB

PM me if you feel like we're hijacking this thread!

Thanks!

Hmm I never got the PM??

First and foremost the guy is a crook! I wont go into it here, but I wouldn't trust him any more than I would trust a great white not to bite me if I was bleeding out in open water...

Ill PM you the details of the boat shortly.
