Is this boat worth it?

3 years later I had one of my bearings go out and removed the wheels and come to find out one spindle had been replaced but the other side had not and it was in bad shape causing bearings to go out prematurely.  I messaged him and he said that the tire had fallen off at the boat ramp before.  But he told me when I was buying the boat that he had just had the bearings replaced.  Thats a big thing right there because its expensive to have fixed properly.  The trailer is a big part of the price of the boat so make sure you check it out very well.

 

If you got 3 years out of it I fail to see how that is the previous owners problem at that point. 3 miles down the road? sure. but anything more and that bit of maintenance falls in your lap. And bearings aren't that bad at all. I had to do both sides on my 77 ranger on the side of the highway. now THAT was a fun trip.

I really appreciate all the replies guys. I am going to keep looking as they guy never got back to me. Im not an impulse buyer so I'll keep an eye out and see what comes up.

 

I think in all honesty you may have dodged a bullet on this one. Keep your eyes open, and one will come soon.
