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

[shrimpman steve]

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.
