Looking at a 1700 osprey; 89 never in water. Whats a fair price? Are those suzuki 4 strokes as good as some have told me? Been out of it a while; raising a kid. The other day he asked to start fishing muskies so time replace the old esox ltd with something new. Where can one get bengay in bulk quanities?
thank in advance.

I am assuming you mean a 1999, yes? I can let you know what would be a fair price, if you are still interested.

Make sure the carpet is good, that year there were a batch of boats shipped with bad carpet. if the carpet is bad, it will have black spots on it. Pass on it if it has that. Look at the overall condition of the gel coat, and if all is well, the rig should sell for about $8500 to $9000 with a TuffTrail trailer (no motor) if the dealer wants to dump it. Personally, if the boat is in a dealership it has it's 6th birthday coming up--I would offer the dealer $8000 and see if he bites.

Yes it got that tuffy carpet. Have 89 esox ltd now and the carpet was crap in two years. Got him down lower than 8000 now. But thinking about what will come up for sale this fall. This site had some nice rigs a while ago.
Thanks again for your time.
