My uncle is looking at buying a 21 foot 2003 Rickner Captiva 212 boat. 4.3 liter engine and it has a 150 hours on the engine. The owner says it's been checked out by a mechanic and has paperwork showing maintenance.

Any OBers with experience on this brand of boat? Is it a good brand?

Any info is appreciated.

Looks like a floating couch with no real purpose besides luring your friends who have hot wives to come along so you can watch their titties bounce.

My uncle isn't an OBer...just looking to cruise the lake pulling a tube/skis with a little fishing mixed in.

Any used boat I would still have it checked out. That will cost around $200 for the motor and outdrive. Cheap insurance before buying!

It'd be ok for fishing the Causeway though right?

I just talked to him and they just spent some $ getting maintenance. He went and talked to them about its condition etc and was told it's a good boat.

Just trying to help him get info.

Sounds like a good reason to get one.

If a boat is not made to fish out of, it serves no purpose.

You see my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughing at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it..
