Need some advice on a 1986 Wahoo
I live in Tennessee and need some advice on buying a boat. I have never owned a boat and I don't know what I don't know.
I found this on craigslist. He is asking $4500. I went and took a look today and took a bunch of pictures of it.

I see that NADA has the boat listed as being worth under 2k.

Are the NADA prices realistic? What kind of questions should I be asking the owner? He did say that motor has never been in the salt water.

If you like the boat, test ride it, and offer $2500. Im willing to bet that the guy will not be able to sell the boat for more than 3K. That is just my experience with boats in Florida. Perhaps in other states they cost more or hold their value. In Florida we have plenty of boats to choose from.
Good luck with your search.
