Looks like it might be a good deal.
20k is fair. 17-18k is what I'd go for.
Looks like a nice boat..
I've always liked those boats. Very nice. Had I found one, I would have bought it in a heartbeat.
How are these on rougher water - like the holiday cross chop on lsc?
Seems a bit pricey with older electronics and no real bells and whistles.
Have you tried looking at the boats for sale on BBC?

A lot more boats plus it'll help you get a handle on what other people are charging for a similar make/model/year.
FWIW, it looks like this same guy posted the boat on BBC's boats for sale page. As for ride and stuff, the stratos board on BBC is pretty friendly and people can answer questions you might have with regards to that or anything else for that matter. Had I not done a number on my LU, I could offer an opinion on how the 201 pro xl handles big water :-(
I have an 04 of the same boat. My boat does quite well in big water. Lots of compliments on the ride from non boaters over the years. But that's with me driving rather conservatively and intelligently. I'm sure lots of other people could drive it and make it the worst ride ever. It's all about the nut that holds the wheel. But I've been very happy with mine since day 1.
I like your boat, Eric. My uncle has owned a few of them, and I know a few others who have and love them.
