Thanks for the replies fellas.
It's funny - when the rlly rang me my first comment to him was - you'd get it for $12k. But after thinking about it a bit longer I reckon $10k is closer to the mark.
I fitted out my Brooker 5m for a bit over $20 but that includes AP Minnkota, boat mods, all electrics etc etc. And that was only 2 years ago.
Dave and others - it would seem there's a bit of a jump in price when you talk below 5m and above 5m. I've thought about going through the piece by piece buying but it's for someone else so haven't really got the time.
As for the conditions it will be used in - the would be owner gets sea sick so it won't be hitting the rough stuff I's reckon. Lake fishing and some estuary work would pull it up but he has a couple of kids and wants the room.
I'll be keeping an eye out.
