I am looking into buying my first inboard, have some knowledge of outboards but will admit I know very little about inboards aND larger boats in general.
I found a 1998 tiara 2900 for $35k, 1000 hours on twin 454 mercruisers. It is a salt water boat. Blue book was somewhere between 45 and 55 depending on options and other similar models same age listed were 50-60
Owners are moving out of the country at the end of April and must sell is the story being told.
Should I have a mechanic look into it just to see or is that far too good to be true and run like hell?
What questions should I be asking, what should I be looking for to determine if this is something to look at or a "too good to be true"?
Any and all help is appreciated
