Found this today. Since I happen to be in Nebraska today, I am going to see the boat in person today. I can have the boat for $2000 cash.

Can you tell from the images if anything is wrong? What questions should I ask? What should I check?

I have no experience in catamarans but a lot of it with monohulls.

Thanks!

Good looking little boat. I cant tell if anything is wrrong with the boat from the pics but a few things to look for. Make sure the rudder system operates correctly. Make sure there are no obvious holes or big scratches in the hull. The wave is a rotomoulded plastic boat and is very durable. Thanks to West system Gflex epoxy you can repair the plastic boats incase of a catastrophe. Check to make sure the tramp is decent. Looks like a nice boat in the pics. Waves are very maintenance free type boats compared to a fiberglass boat.

The price seems pretty fair given that its on a trailer.

Think I could take it out with y'all TDCYC.com guys/gals at Surfside beach once I tow it from Nebraska to Houston?

Sure! the more boats the better. Bring it down and we can show you how to rig it and give pointers on surf launching.

The wave is a very fun easy to use boat and im sure you would enjoy it a lot. If you decided you wanted a bigger boat you could always sell it for what you paid. Thats the beauty of $2K boats!
