Need help, trying to buy a sx230 2008 with 300hrs.

Literally, the only time the word “mint” applies is if one is included in the deal.
 
Ok i have officially got the "itch" lol, so im on to the next one , a 2007 ar230, im open to all the advice,, my wife looks like shes gonna divorce me, all im doing all day is looking at boats

Exercise caution on super low hour, older boats. The only thing worst then working on a boat, is working on one that hasn’t seen a lot of use.

Tell her just to wait... once you buy it, you’ll spend all your time looking at stuff to buy for it. Then, she’ll start seeing amazon boxes just materialize in the garage out of thin air.
 
That looks like a nice well kept boat. Much cleaner than the previous one.... at least in the pics. I’d make sure you get a good look at the bottom. Driving it on and off floating docks like that a lot can damage the gel coat.
id definitely get it hooked up to YDS to check the hours. 80 seems really low, but I found a gem like that too. Bought an ‘04 SX230 2 years ago that had 90 hours on it. Really was mint, 1 owner, 70 year old guy who took a lot of pride in it. I’ve put more hours (over 100) in the last 2 years then he put on in 14. Lol.
good luck!
 
... my wife just added up the number of amazon transactions last night. I guess using 2 credit cards didn't help hide anything!
 
Well there goes that listing,, got the guy to go to 19k ,, not sure if that is a good deal
