time to take the plunge?.....advice
 

Dirty c man and I are being offered what looks to be the deal of a lifetime. A 2004 19 foot Polar CC. with a 90 HP saltwater merc. for less than half of book value, with the trailer which is also in great shape. The boat is being sold for $9,500, but we can pick it up for $5,000 (with the trailer).

any polar owners out there with feedback? The reviews online were fantastic and the boat looks great. This would be my first ride and I think it is a perfect boat to learn on. My feeling is, how can you go wrong for $2,500 a piece to split a boat like this?

would love any advice. the pic is not the exact boat, but very close. The only difference is we don't have a t top, but it does have a new bimini.

My neighbor loves his! Same exact boat I believe..... For the price, dont think you can go wrong to be honest. Polar is a decent ride, from what I hear.

$5,000 today will buy you a boat that is usually 20 yrs old, so to find something this clean, this model, sounds like a good deal.

Just remember 1 thing........... BOAT translated: B-Break O-Out A-Another T- Thousand!!! :D

Good luck if you go ahead with it! If you dont want it, send me the info. My kid wants his own,,,,, :)

how many hours on the motor?

polars make a nice hull a 19' is a good starter boat so as long as its in good shape and you're getting your $$'s worth

Re: time to take the plunge?.....advice
 

about 250 hours on the motor. The sale is pending a mechanic checking out the engine. The hull is in GREAT shape (as far as I can tell). If the engine checks out, I think I'm in

I can't see not getting my moneys worth at this price.

My buddy had a 23 polar - great boy - great ride..

For the price - I think its a great deal..

Only leery thing I thought when you posted... Cant stand Merc's

Everyone I know that has ever had one, always had issues with them...

Great river / bay boat - can hit the ocean on a flat day..

Good luck steve..

Where are you keeping it and what time should I be there. Nice timing getting DCM to pay his half when he cant fish for the rest of the season.
Momma didnt raise no fool!!

2 stroke/4 stroke motor? Out of warranty?

Re: time to take the plunge?.....advice
 

2 stroke oil injected, never thought about the warranty, but it is a 2005. I have to assume it is out of warranty. what is the typical warranty period for these things?

Re: time to take the plunge?.....advice
 

May keep it right at my house and trailer it. I think I can also keep it at sports yard in point if I want, but will use it more in the bay, so that may not be good. We'll see. as far as when you should be there, I'll let you know!
