Found the exact boat I am looking for, but I'm still fairly new to the boating world. It's 17 foot '96 Boston Whaler Dauntless with a '96 150HP Johnson. It's very clean, and has quite a few accessories. Unfortunately, it's a dealer that is selling it. Normally I try to avoid dealerships since you have to pay so much more for the boat vs private seller. They are asking $12,900. NADA Blue Book comes to around $6,000 for average retail (with accessories). What's a fair offer to make to a dealer for this?

I have a 96 Johnson 150 Ocean Runner V6 with 2 triple carbs. Is it a 2 stroke Ocean Runner ?
My motor has been trouble free in 4 years.

Check comps. What accessories does it have ? Always trailered or sat in the salt or fresh.
It would be good to get a compression test. Takes less than 15 min.
