Hi
I'm looking at a 1998 205 conquest to buy. I'm wondering if its a good buy. It's a 98 with a 97 200hp Evinrude that has been rebuilt. the current owner will give a 6 month warranty with the motor to the buyer. The boat is in pretty good shape except for its normal wear and tear due to age. Cushions on the transom need to be changed out and possibly a new depth /fish finder. The bimini top is also aging. I don't think they cared to much about keeping it cleaned and waxed much. I'm a 84 18' outrage owner and would like to upgrade. Family is bigger now. the boat is selling for 14k. It looks like a really good deal. I'm looking for some input!!! I think i'm just nervous about pulling the trigger. My wife isn't to thrilled. The big issue is that i can't go see it. its a 10hr ride to look at it. The owner has sent a lot of pics but it's not the same without looking at it.

thanks

p.s. i hope some from here doesn't find it and buy it before me ha ha!! :)
