So my stepdad calls me tonight and says his aunt wants her ex-husbands boat out of the yard. They spent a lot of time out in it being avid divers and fisherman and she's tired of looking at it. It's a 25ft Robalo with twin yamaha 200's that have been rebuilt and have less than 20hrs on them. The trailer is in excellent condition, but the tires may need to be replaced because the boat has sat for probably 5 years maybe more. She said she'll take $1500 for it...somebody help me out with this...I've been blessed and can easily afford this, but am trying to figure out if it's a good idea. What kinda gas mileage would that boat get?...I dont have any idea how heavy it is either. I also only have a v-6 xterra 2wd to pull it with, so I'd probably have to change that as well. what do yall think?
Take care. Kenny

| Not sure about the mileage but if you don't want it I'll take it! That sounds like a great deal, I would jump on it if I was you! The money you are saving on the purchase will buy lots of gas!!

| I don't believe you can go wrong with that.

| You will need to have the tank emptied of old gas and most likely have to have the carbs cleaned because they gum up, but you can't get the boat hull without motors for that. And Rabalo is a fairly good ride on the water. Enjoy.
