What do people think of this?

Seen this for sale and it looks like a pretty good price and has been well looked after.

What do you think and anything to look out for?

Thanks!

It seems like a lot of money for a 20 year old boat to me I agree it looks mint & new tubes are a bonus but seems a lot of money imho. Trailor looks a touch weedy too. Theres a similar age ribcraft 585 advertised on here at 12k which is in a different league, it does have a hpdi engine which im not keen on but for the difference in cost you could re engine and have change

Fair point. It looks really good, but is a lot of money for a boat that old.
What’s your thoughts on a Brig Falcon 500?
It comes with a Suzuki DF60.
Thanks

I was actually thinking that the only thing old on that boat was the hull .. That looks like a fun boat to me .. great shape ..
