Don't care for cabin style boats

honestly, a cuddy on a boat that size does not get used...way too hot in the summer, and you sacrifice all your deck space

agree with above posters, plus you will have to shell out appx. 15k shortly for a new motor.

Depends on what you want to do with it....I used to have a 22' Rabalo, walk around with a cuddy cabin...it was good for riding around, red fishing in deep canals or along the edges of beaches or bays but not very practical for going into the marsh or shallows. Also, with just one engine, not very practical for going very far offshore, you can hang around a few rigs and catch some trout, ling or may some mangroves if you go out of Grand Isle....

but for $9500 it doesnt seem like a bad deal

Boat is 15+ years old.
Motor would have to be in excellent condition unless you think the boat itself is worth 10 grand.

This is the correct answer. My buddy has a 21' Proline with a WA cuddy, and I used to have a 25' WA cuddy. Neither had nearly the fishing space my 20' Hydrasport Ocean Skiff has.

I'd probably walk away.

I'd also shell out a little more money for a slightly newer center console. Would be a better buy, and most likely an easier sell down the road.

I had a 22 ft pursuit cuddy. Decent boat. Would have worked for diving an snapper fishing. But only had 1 engine.

Mine was in better shape than this one and I only paid 5. I would keep looking for a center console
