I'm looking at a 1971 Nauset. The boat appears to be in good condition, but none of the interior is original. It all appears custom/homemade. The asking price is $5800. The outboard is a 1989 Evinrude 90. Located in inland northwest, so has likely been freshwater for the recent history.
I would hope to bring some of the interior back up to BW standards. Not necessarily a correct restoration.
Any major concerns? What would be considered a fair offer?
It's a few hundred miles away from me, so I have not been able to get my eyes on it, and I am not sure it is worth the trip yet.
Price seems high by maybe $1000, totally depends on engine. I like the rear bench seat, but keep anyone that weighs over 75# from sitting there while underway. It will kill the ride angle.
I own a 1964 and 1966 of this boat and love them. They are great in coastal bays and the ocean but they will beat you in short chop of a large bay, in my case the Chesapeake.
