looks like 2 4-stroke Yamahas

Kinda looks like a Proline with old Suzuki motors, but it is a shitty picture so who knows. I know the stickers dont look like proline, but the hull does

That's what I was thinking. Classic Mako hull?

Don't forget to account for the cost of gas each trip.

Seems like an OK deal. Not familiar with the hull maker but it looks clean and appears to have a bunch of extras.

Definitely try and find out more about the manufacturer. Maybe ask on THT because it is gonna be a dog-shite search if you type in "Offshore 26" on Google

Offshore was a manufacturer in Florida in the 80s and 90s. They had some of their own molds, and also adapted popular molds to their line such as Mako. Looking at that one, it sure looks a lot like a late 80s/early 90s Mako hull. They built a nice boat. Nothing fancy, but solid. It's old, and with any old boat you get lots of old shite, such as gas tanks, wiring, trailers, etc. You need to be pretty handy to keep 'em going, or rework them, otherwise they will break you.

The wiring looks like a rats nest so I would probably get that out of the way first. The trailer looks like it is in good condition.
My only worry would be the tanks.

At that price I would expect a major expense somewhere in the deal, either the motors or the fuel/electrical systems. While it isn't painful to get into the boat at $18k, if there is another $12k in repowering right in front of you . . .

Way to high of a price. A boat that age and motors too shouldn't be any higher then 12K. As the poster above me said, 12K to replace just one motor. That extra 6k they looking to get is way out of line. keep looking till you find the right deal and before buying, have the rig surveyed.

With a boat from that era there is a damn good chance of wood construction. I would check for rot in the transom, under console and in and around hatches. Price seems high with the age. If it runs and you could get it for close to $10-12k it would be worth it. Boat like that will cost several hundred dollars a weekend to fish.
ETA: that being said i hope to be looking at similar rigs in the next two or three years. Really leaning towards a world cat or calcutta catamaran.

my $.02, a lot of boat for the money. looks good from the outside but there are an awful lot of screws that look to be reinforcing the cap to things (lids, actual cap to hull, etc), I would be VERY careful with that bc if people start adding screws its bc stuff is starting to rot. If it has been stored under those trees for years and years I would avoid at all cost. good luck

I'd go look it over, definitely, and have them take it out for a spin to see/hear how everything looks and sounds.
