Really? That figures. It's a little higher than I want to spend but it has about everything. He showed it this morning and has a deposit pending financing. The other one in Missouri is just too high. It's a consignment and the dealer said the seller is firm on his price. Course they're always going to say that so we'll see.
Tuscany that's a nice boat but out of my price range and my year model. Not really the body style I want. I'm

Figure out what you want to pay and then make an offer on the Missouri 262 boat well below that. Let dealer sleep on it.

Thanks Matt but that's not for me, even though it's an awful pretty boat.

Dealers of consignment items have nothing to lose..

Winter is coming...
As you know, Best time to buy a boat my friend. Suddenly, those "firm" prices start to become UN-firm with a check waving and a seller wanting it gone.

I made him an offer and he laughed at me. He said he may come back to me later, and I said that's fine. But this offer is only good for right now. Later it will be less! I freaking love this game.

And thank you on the Tahoe boats Matt. The right one WILL come along

How about a 343?

2006 Cobalt 343
- Freshwater
- 290 hours
- Twin Merc 525s
- Blue hull
- Docking lights
- Looks to have Captain's Call
- Tri-axle trailer
- Matching cockpit covers
- Trim tabs

Owner says excellent condition and has all maintenance records. Seems to be priced right at ~ $64,500 USD. Another couple of weeks and this boat has to go to bed for the season. Seller might have some wiggle room.

Boat is located about an hour north of me, just outside of Toronto.

IMHO, 343's are the sexiest Cobalt's ever made.
Impractical maybe --but sexy--especially with those long sexy 525 EFI leg's.


Btw, price says $80,000. You believe that may be Canadian ColinC?

Price is $80,000 Canadian. Which converted to USD is right around $64,500.

Life is short. Sometimes you need to be impractical.

Your right, like is short. Mine would be even shorter if I came home with that bad boy. Thanks Colin!

Another great find Bfun220! Nice job.

Ytmsn, if you can live without :
CCall
Ext swim platform (hard to tell from pic)
GXI motor
Trim tabs
Dinette table
Premium sound
Pump out waste (again hard to tell)
Trailer

then this one's for you.

Thanks B! Aslan right, it's not exactly what I'm after, but I'm going to call him anyway. He's on the high side of the market this time of year too, especially without some of the extras. Thanks then the find!
