It is still in Bidding until July 1.
Odds are there 7 bidders now, so, it may go for more before the time runs out.
It probably a good boat, many not have a lot of hours on them as people may use on weekends and that not every weekend and only in summer.
The bad thing about buying a boat is seeing it, before you commit to buy. Inboards like this, if not winterized could have a cracked block and the Transom (Back) is important, sometimes this be getting rotted if they were not taken care of.. Also, boats are cheap. This boat is 14 years old, so, I would not pay more than about $2,000. Remember, eBay some people get into the competition of bidding, just watch this boat and see if they over bid the $2,000 I would pay.
I am looking for a Sailboat, I look some on eBay, but, most I look at other web sites like;
http://www.boats.com
One example, but, I look at others. Be real careful and do some shopping and looking to decide what you want and the price range they sell for. An example is a sailboat I had watched and it was $18,000. Now it is $8,000. Big drop in price, one, because it was over priced at first. Also, be ready with your cash in hand when you do find something. I found a really nice little 28 foot sailboat and was ready to jump on it, but, when I contacted the seller the Lady say another man was already coming to look. I knew then it was sold! Few days later she call and say he bought it.

NEVER buy a used boat without having an experienced mechanic check the engine. why would you buy without seeing and trying out in person?.i think it would be a very bad decision. marine engines are very expensive if you need to replace.

may be soft spots in the hull or fiberglass delamination or engine problems etc... all kinds of problems that won't be revealed in a pictiure on ebay. it's better to buy something like this local

Vibration in out drive is unknown, it's an "I/O" (and you will "OWE") if you have to replace that "out drive" $$$$$$$, The boat appears "TIRED" to me in the picture, and it's on "E-Bay", so they want to start a bidding war, STAY AWAY FROM IT !
