[Thinking Of Buying A Stacer 420 Seaway - Advice Needed]

Just wanted to give a quick update & to say thanks to all for opinions & advice.

Went today to have a look at said boat, and it was as advertised - perfect condition & plenty of extras. Well maintained, fresh water use only, garaged, etc. Anyway, long story short, we got it for $11,500. I'm Stoked!!! Looking forward to taking her out on the first trip.

Thanks again for advice given. Muchly appreciated.

Cheers,

Jon

mate also if the 30hp .. most likey wont have tilt and trim and thats a real pain in the asse when you go to beach the boat you gotta run to the back of the boat to left the motor up !

Gets anonnying after a while, Thats why i upgraded to the 40 !

Nope, says electric tilt.

But will definitely keep that in mind when looking around.

Cheers for the replies.

I've had a bit of a search online for Stacer Seaways, and give or take a year or two the price doesn't seem to fluctuate a great deal. Do boats keep their value a lot better than say cars?

Only looking to take trips to dams/lakes or on the odd coast trip along the rivers. And, yeah, don't want to go too big as we only have the family car (wifes VZ Wagon) to tow with. I'm just happy to get the go ahead with buying a boat! But don't want to blow our money on something that won't suit us, or obviously isn't worth the cash. We live a good 4+hrs from the coast so are somewhat limited in what we can get out to have a look at too.

Will check out this Huetts online. Again, thanks for the input.

Decisions, decisions....
