Want To Buy Want to buy... '05-'09 SX230 or 232L

[mark_m]

Looking for quality pre-owned boat. Must be well maintained, no saltwater and in the Midwest. Contact me here first for personal contact info...

Preference is toward 08 or newer style but would consider 05 -07 case by case basis.

Thanks!
Mark

This one is nice. I probably would've gone after it had I not bought one locally.

Thanks for sharing this, Capt hook! I am leaning more toward SX230 the watersports and less toward the AR

I saw a '09 232LS on YJB site for sale, can't remember where it was located though.

Wayloncle,

This it? In Sarasota, Florida, too far away from me in Ohio. Thanks though!!

If I could justify the buy, the one captain hook put up looks like a steal.

Here is a 2009 232 Limited from Knoxville, TN http://knoxville.craigslist.org/boa/4572758874.html. They might be flexible on the selling price based on the last line of the ad.

Andy,

Thanks - looks like a nice boat, it is a bit more than I wanted to spend. I wonder what's up with the non-stock trailer?? I may give him a call tomorrow.

Thanks

@mark_m my dad is selling his 2008 232. It is in San Antonio, tx. Shoot me a conversation if that is reasonable driving distance for you.

That trailer is an upgrade over stock but it looks like it is partially aluminum and partially galvanized.

 

[Andy S]

After looking closer at the pictures, the boat trailer has a dealers name on it "BoatsandMotorSuperStores.com" which is located in Palm Harbor, FL. Maybe this boat started it's life in Florida.

Have dealer check/service trailer. Does it have a spare? Make sure it is aired up properly. Check hubs often coming back through the mountains. Congrats, good luck and enjoy the trip.

 

[mark_m]

Dealer agrees to replace bearings and brakes for the trip. I'll make sure about spare!

I need to plan the trip so I have a bit of time. Please keep advice coming!
