Purchasing Top Hat with Inboard

G'day

Prices for "tidy" THs with extras, and an inboard, from what I see are from
$17-22,000. I nice inboard (I have a Drofin 9hp) will last ages if it has
regular oil & filter changes - even when it gets little use (like mine).

With the age of the boat, it is definitely worth a survey - osmosis repair
may take up to $3-4,000 to fix properly by recoating. Check for corrosion
around the mast step. They're a solid boat and lots of fun.
Good luck,
Rob

Thanks for that, have'nt seen one with an inboard as low as that. This one is on offer at $27,000, i am thinking it is too much and would expect max $24-25,000 with anti foul done. Maybe I will look again at the outboard motor models, as they seem to be available for around the $20,000 mark. I suppose my other attraction is that this particular boat is in Mackay (where I live) others I have looked at have to bought up from Brisbane.
Thanks for comments
