Is it the one listed on Boat Trader for $41.5k in New York? If so, I don't imagine the seller is going to drop the price down over $10k and sell it, especially if the "issues" are cosmetic only in nature. Of which that would bring me to my question... what are the issues with the boat? If everything works on the boat, the engines check out and don't have the dry exhaust issues, and it literally just needs to be detailed or have new bottom paint applied... I see no reason why it wouldn't be a $40k boat. For comparison purposes, though it's not really apples to apples, I bought my 2004 Grady White 228 Seafarer that had a single Yamaha F225 on it with just under 1k hours at the time of purchase and a 2009 aluminum I-beam trailer back in October of 2021 in Maryland for $26.5k. Considering that you're looking at almost the same year of boat as mine but it's 6' longer, has a newer/bigger trailer and so forth... I can't imagine it would only be worth $30k, or essentially $3,500 more than what I paid for my boat, and I got a steal of a deal on mine. If it's the same boat that I mentioned above that's on BT, it does show a recent price drop of $8,400, which to me might indicate an issue with one of the outboards having the dry exhaust corrosion issue, a transom needing to be rebuilt or something similar. But again, if the boat is in the condition advertised, everything works and is how you're telling us... I'd say it's at least a $40k-$50k boat depending on the actual condition, especially if it just needs to be detailed and the "issues" are only cosmetic in nature. Just my opinions of course, good luck with whatever you decide on doing.
