The thing is the price is relative and if you like it that is want and you plan to keep it it will last forever. A boat that age has all the bugs worked out and as I said before is a perfect size. When I go to Exuma Bahamas you see all the locals on the ocean with the bare bones 16' whalers and they seem to last nearly forever.
Get it and then post pictures with some great scenery in the background. Hopefully that giant Great White won't try to eat you and the boat...
