Hey everyone, I have been reading through hundreds of WW posts for the last few months and have a pretty good idea of what to look for in a used boat and what I want. This will be my first time owning a boat but I have done a lot of driving and wake boarding, mainly with I/O"s. With the amount of experienced boat owners on this site I'm hoping you guys can help.
I found a 2000 SAN 210 (non team edition) for sale at a dealer. The outside of the boat looks good, no fading that I can see in the ballast, and I'm not sure how good of shape the trailer is in but it looks decent. The boat has the dark green color scheme. It has NO tower speakers, NO ballast, NO sun shade. These missing items are not a deal killer for me at the right price. Here is the main issue, they don't have the hours on the boat and from what I have read this is common with this engine and gauges for this year. They are saying 150-200 based on what the owner said but they are just guessing. What should I look out for when I go to check it out tomorrow? I'm also worried about resale value due to the engine hours, if we really use the boat as much as I plan to,, then an upgrade will happen within a few years. BTW, the price is just below $20K before any discussion.
