So I'm 50/50 on a new (to me boat)

I have had a 21 hydrasports for a few years and with the kids getting a little older and my wife getting more comfortable with longer trips (MV, BI, etc etc) we've been talking about upgrading at some point.

Then an ad hit craigslist for the hull ive been looking for: Hydrasports 2390 but it has original power

So essentially, I'm asking if you guys would buy a 2000 hull (all glass and a tank of a boat) with original power (albeit low hours) for $23k...

Price seems slightly high, but the hull is rare.

Looking for "am I crazy?" kind of guidance

Ficht engine is POS. So all your buying is a hull.

That’s my reality... no matter how well she runs, it’s a crapshoot.

15 K. And know you’re looking at 20+ for a repower in a couple of years.

Any center con with a old 2 stroke engine, you’re only buying the hull.

That is what I was thinking $-wise.

Then I could pair it with this guy (https://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/bpo/d/south-jamesport-evenrude-g2-price-cut/7070078844.html) for basically the same $
