I spend far to much time gazing at boats on trademe.
 
Has anyone noticed that a huge percentage of boats stay on for months and months unsold. Sellers are asking way too much in most cases.

ys so right bro, some are wayyyy to over priced. i had to goto  marco boats to get a 570 angler hull and build from there. cause if i wanted an engine on it it would be way to $$$ for me. and i never want to buy another boat off trademe again as the one i brought sank on me. word to the wise check the hull 1st.

well i beat the middle man and whent straight to the guys who build them.
i ordered a boat that has no seats lights carpets no tank nothing but a bare hull with sterring only. cause this way i can add my own stuff  cheaply and as i have the engine seats etc etc myself i got a over 20 gran boat for a low low 10 gran :)

ask any guy that makes alloy's and just ask for a bare hull with sterring added. if you have all the part's like the nav lights, seats, carpet, fuel tank, wireing for the sounder etc etc and every thing else that can be added at min cost then you will save lots of bucks. all i have now is a bare hull on the drive way to get rid of. g.o.p btw lol
