    In the process of purchasing a 2004 Rinker Captiva 282,,,
    Wondering if I got a good deal, geat deal, adverage deal....
    Boat seems to have all the extras,
    496 Mercruser, 243 hours ,brava 111 out drive,stainless props ,full cover , cockpit cover, windless , swim platform w/showr, up graded sterio and cd, gps, louran,,,,etc. Interior is a 9 out of 10 the exterior 7 out of 10 (probably hasnt been polished in 6 years) no bottom paint.

    The boat was a repo in 2009

    Paying 17500.00 for boat and 2500.00 for a 2010 aluminum Ventura trailer total 20k for the boat.

    Any comments??

    Thank you

    A quick search showed them anywhere from 15K (for a 2006) to 45K for a 2001. Given the difference I would be cautious, but knowing nothing about the boats in question I don't really know. As for your deal... I think you are doing OK.
