Question

Should I buy a Sea Ray 215 express cruiser 1997 for 8,000$?

Answer 1

definitly it will be worth alot of money in 2030 you could be rich fix it  up and don't use it

Answer 2

I'm not expert enough to answer that, but my grandparents have a 24' sea ray that is hands down the nicest boat I've ever been on.

Answer 3

Yes...you only live once!!!!!

Answer 4

depends on the hrs on the engine(s) and how sound the hull is...luxury boats are all over the market right now due to fuel costs...I cant say whether that model is worth 8000 but there is no resale if you are disappointed

Answer 5

My suggestion would be to go to www.nada.com and take a look at what they say the resale value is.

You've seen the vessel...none of us have. You have to make the decision as to whether she's seaworthy so sadly the decision is yours to make...unless she's in ideal shape and runs like a top.

Now with all that said get her inspected by a marine mechanic or surveyor. She's 11 yrs old and you don't want to see your $8000 go down the drain!

Answer 6

i looked around for the same boat and year on the internet, most of them are from 12000 to18000, but they were all in good shape. so as long as the boat has been kept good and is working then it would be a great deal

Answer 7

no, hold off as prices are headed down with the gas $ up

lot of people unloading powerboats

Answer 8

yeah go ahead

Answer 9

Wait about another 30 days.  This looks like over book, but I never paid much attention to the book anyway.    Good Luck!
