Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum and am looking to purchase an older Nitro Fish & Ski. I went to look at the boat today and there are some things that need to be addressed. The owner is asking $13,900 but it seems like it might be a little high. I am including a description and a lit of things I noticed need to be addressed. Any thoughts here?

1. Speedometer doesn't work
2. The trim meter doesn't work (motor will adjust though)
3. Dash panels are peeling in a lot of places
4. Radio doesn't work (old cassette deck).
5. The upholstery needs work

In my opinion the trim gauge and speedometer are the only issues. Assuming everything else works the rest of the stuff just comes with age or neglect over the years. How many hours is low?. If the motor is in great shape, call a shop and ask how much to repair these two things and take it off the price and offer him that. The boat looks to be well kept...just 25 years old. REMEMBER...a motor that sat too much can be in just as bad of shape , sometimes worse, than one driven a lot. I would have a mechanic go through a motor this old before purchase for sure (unless you have the aptitude to do this inspection yourself). The motor would make or break this deal for me for sure.
