They may be motivated sellers. Throw them a low offer and see what happens.

I would not worry about the color as much as that tower and the trailer that is too big for the boat.

The boat doesn't have a trailer. At least that's what I'm assuming because the spec sheet said a trailer is available at an extra fee. In that case I will get one on my own. And yes, the tower is horrible, but that can be easily fixed. Samson Switchblade maybe???
I really want to know how much $$$ it would take to paint the thing.

A vynal wrap would be better than paint and I was told they range from &2,500 up to 5,000 depending on how custom you want to go and all. If it were me, I would jump on that boat. Put a little money into it then wait for the economy and boat market to come back up and make a profit.

Hi, New to this forum with my recent post. We do boat wraps and vehicle wraps. www.revolutionwraps.com. Typically they range from $2500 to $7000 depending on how long you want it last and the design.

We will be wrapping our new 2003 22V Riders edition, we just purchased.

Wraps can be as simply or custom as you want. Here's a couple of pictures of our older Crownline Boat. I will post the pictures of our new tige when it's finished.

How long will a wrap last on a boat? I was looking at a website where they recommended replacing it every year or two??

[rstara]

Depends on the location, and the hours per year, but you should get 3-4 years even more if its properly installed, and the correct materials are used.

HEYY, what's wrong with that color????

That's a crazy price. For sure a deal. You "can" get a boat redone with gel coat. They shoot it on like regular paint and then sand it down in a rather lengthy process. I would guess (and this is only a guess) based on my neighbor's work you'd probably be around $5k. He had basically his whole bottom, bow to stern, done for about $2k the first time....second time the dumb SOB ran it aground yours truly was under the freaking thing sanding my arse off for 8 hours--for free.

If you are handy this is something you could do yourself, it takes more patience and persistence than it does brains. Prettty easy to do if you wanna go a solid color; if you want full on go-fast type obnoxious gel coat you're gonna be better off buying a new boat than paying for it!

I agree with Lee - do not paint - either buff it out really well-you will be amazed at what can be done there or get a wrap.

I paid around $30K for my 2000 2300V a few years ago, but it only had 100 hours on the engine and the whole boat was in great shape. You could pick that boat up, put a new interior in and a new tower, new stereo system and have an awesome boat for a cheap price.

Here is a pic of our 2300V with a new tower and graphics.
