    1997 Grady 209 Escape

    Thank you! Yes that Carmel proline peaked my interest too! I think first I’ll try to see that Angler. 8 years newer then the proline and only 10 min away. I actually also use FB market place. That’s where. I found the Grady. I also found another Angler for the same price on FB.

    Wow. Thank you for this! That 2006 Angler is 10 min from my house! What’s crazy is I search Craigslist daily and some of these you sent I haven’t seen show up in my searches! Thank you. Much appreciated.

    Thank you for this!! I appreciate this more then you may ever know! I’m love the look of the 209. But agree slightly bigger and more HP would serve me well. I ironically also came across another 209 with a 2017 Yamaha 200. However cosmetically it’s in worse shape and they are asking...

    I’m your opinion or your sons opinion is the 97 worth 20k? Again assuming it’s solid. I know condition plays a big role in price. I haven’t gone to see it yet in person to confidently say it’s solid.

    The Mako I’m not 100% sure. It says it comes with a portable one and then separately mentions the console had a door with a large enough area for an electric porta. I haven’t gone to see it yet. For kids. 3 boys 11, 9,9 and one girl 10. ( I have two and my girlfriend has two. ).

    Thank you! Very good info! I’ve spoken to the owner and not a broker. It’s in his driveway. I have not set eyes in it yet but plan too soon. Your point about changing and doing your business I agree with. It’s the only reason I’ve gone back and forth in my head about a CC or a...

    Thanks all! Keep the info coming I really appreciate it!! Good point in the porta potty. I haven’t laid eyes in it yet but from brief research I don’t believe there is a good spot for one… Here on LI CC seem to more common then most other boats. So much so that it seems to reflect in...

    Thank you! I plan to look at it and bring a mechanic friend with me! I was thinking of offering $18. I could be naive here but in this market I feel that price is a pretty good deal assuming no major issues of course. Overall though is this a quality boat? Made well? Is a 97 all...

    Newbie here. I’m looking at a 97 209 with a 97 Yamaha saltwater series 2 150 with about 550 hours. 2018 trailer too they are asking 20k. I haven’t looked at it yet but per pics and conversation it looks to be a pretty clean and solid boat only issue is the live well pump needs to be...
