What sort of issues? I’ve owned my 2004 Sundeck 240 for 13 years so I’m curious. My vinyl and carpet are going downhill quickly, and it’ll be time for new bellows finally after this season (slow leak).Originally Posted by marcal
For what you'd like to do, I'd recommend the Sea Ray 240 Sundeck as well. I had one and it was fantastic fun for my family. You can bring two families with kids or as many as 8 adults comfortably. I just sold it a few months ago and it was an '06. It started to show it's age last season(13 years old) and I put a lot of work in and decided to get rid of it. The new owner is finding issues of his own but thats to be expected. I really loved the boat but don't miss the headache.
As for OP question...Sea Ray builds great boats. They’re the most popular runabouts for a reason. That 1998 model will be a good boat, especially with the 5.0. $12,000 is way too high on price. That’s probably an $7-8k boat IMHO.
Try looking around on Craigslist in East TN and North GA for comparison. They are made in Knoxville so there is always a large concentration of used ones It seems.
