From a sellers perspective that is a fair asking price. From a buyers perspective you know there is some wiggle room, just how much though?
My perspective, with no personal viewing or sea trial of this panga notices a newer panga with what appears to be a gel coat finished inside the hull.
Nice west coast style stainless steel railing which is a plus. Obviously the low hour Yamaha 90 is a plus as is the trailer if it is ready to pull
as is. That requires a thorough inspection of welds, fasteners, bearings, shackles, springs, brakes etc.
Negatives would be no fuel tank incorporated into deck or hidden by console.
But the local mode in Baja is to carry multiple large 50 liter poly bottles and switch the caps/fuel supply out as one goes. I'm not sold on this but
it makes fueling up for the next days trip easier than dragging the boat back and forth to the Pemex daily. That works for charter operators much
better than the back and forth with panga on a trailer for sure. For private use, not so much.
No tee top either which would be nice, if you are not a fly fisherman. If you are the tee top gets in the way. But no tee top, no shade, are points
against imho.
I agreed with arbee 15k - 20k fair asking and the sellers agrees too. Now the fun begins. Maybe start at 13k-14k? Hopefully get it for a price
which makes both seller and buyer happy. Good luck! |
