I have tried searching and read some things, but wanted to post to gather more specific information...
I am a first time boat buyer and not too experienced at looking at boats. I am looking at a 1998 185 Bow Rider this weekend and want your guys input on it and also some common things to look for, watch out for.
It is cold in Ohio, so unfortunately I cannot test drive the boat. I want to see ways around that to make sure the boat is good to go. The pictures make the interior and exterior appear very well taken care of and its always been stored inside during the winter and on a lift during the summer with a canopy cover.
The boat has had 3 owners and the current owner has owned it since 2010. It comes with a bimini top, cockpit and full cover and a single axle trailer with newer tires.
It is currently on sale for $6,900.
Any advise and recommendations are greatly appreciated in advance!
