Hello forum. My brother in-law recommended I seek your thoughtful and kind advice. I am a first time boat buyer. Just moved to Cape Anne, MA and EVERYONE has a boat. I am taking boater safety classes and need to find that first boat.
I have looked at several Gradys Cuddy cabins, gulfstream, seafarer etc. My family and wife in particular is biased for a center console. As such, I have been looking at Fisherman and sportsman(s). I found this one and am interested. They are asking $9,000. The owner bought the boat as a project and added the motor himself and a new trailer. He installed a fishfinder GPS that he removed so that is not included. He also replaced the bilge pumps.
So questions - is this is a good boat for a first timer to take the family out on the ocean? Price decent? What questions should I ask?
