I figured I should share this with you all. I've decided to keep my mx and not sell it to buy this:

I've been eyeing this playmate for a while (ever since Aug 9). This was before I bought the MX-14.
Anyway, I called her and eventually talked to the guy who owns it. Evidently it was in a barn for years and this guy always wanted to buy it and when it was for sale he bought it. It has a 75 hp Yamaha, but came with a Merc and still has the wiring for the gauges for a Mercury.
The bad news is that it sits in the Hudson all season long. He says all the scum comes off when they spray it when they pull it out in the fall. Also, the paint is pretty well faded. It has a "nice" trailer. I think the lady is more stiff on the price than the guy, because I left a voice message at first and the first thing the voice message I got back said was that she was very firm on the price and would keep it for anything less. However the guy seemed not to mind, saying he'd go a few hundred bucks less.
Ok I know that many of you have already seen this ad as a few have already posted it, but I figured I'd let you guys know some details on it. The way I looked at it, it is a nice boat with just about all of the features of a Playmate GT. I probably would have bought it had it not been in New York and I live northwest of Chicago, and not had a yamaha engine on it (I like Mercs a whole lot better).
I'm just a little curious. Do you guys think this is a good price? I know these are rare and come up fairly infrequently.
