Trying to find a second hand boat.
Hi guys,
Decided on the used boat I want, for my first boat:
- 5.0 - 5.5 m fibreglass cuddy/half cabin.
- 4 stroke engine ( ideally yamaha, suzuki, honda ).
- no earlier than year 2000 boats.
Particular models that seem to fit the bill are :
- Haines Signature 540f/542f.
- Cruisecraft explorer/outsider 550.
- Haines Hunter cuddy cabs in this size range.
However been looking on all usual used boat internet sites ( boat point/boatsales/boatsonline ) for several months in WA region and nothing has come up in above preferences.
Though different case if look in other states where such models appear more frequently.
Getting to point where I am wondering if any such boats are likely to appear any time soon and how long I may have to wait.
Wondering if I want to get the boat I want, will have to buy new ( new Signature 540f qoute as mid 50k from allboatbusiness ).
I'd be grateful for any advice, any of you guys been in similar situation ?
Cheers, Joycey.

Those hulls don't come on to
Those hulls don't come on to the market in WA that often so a transport fee from the east coast might be your only option other wise be patient and something will turn up sooner or later.

That's what I thought. You
That's what I thought. You must have missed where he said his budget was 30-35k :) Thought that offer would have been a bit too cheap otherwise. Might have had to take it myself.
