I dunno what years were bad. But I bet you could bring one of these up from the east coast for under $20k USD so I’d say her price shouldn’t be firm

maybe not with that new of a motor though
Here is a discussion about this problem on THT.
Corrosion issues on yamaha outboards - The Hull Truth - Boating and Fishing Forum
The Boating Forum - Corrosion issues on yamaha outboards - So what's the big deal here? It looks like it's $600 for parts, then about 8hrs labor to have this done. Why not just have it done with the updated parts whether it needs it or not and move on with life? Or have the prices to fix this...

Funny I see this ad every day and always thought it was a $20-25k TOPS boat. Didn’t know they were so valuable.تسجيل الدخول إلى فيسبوك

I think this boat is a sunbird, not champion. But looks nice. Big dance floor. It would be nice to get it for less than $30k
I’ve definitely seen these hulls in the states with original power and trailer for 12-15k USD.

Some of these freshwater US boats have the gel coat and hardware still in remarkable condition.

Not that I want to turn it into a debate or anything but I don't think that's typical. I have been running my old double eagle for 6? years now, including when I lived on Ruxton Island and had to commute to Duncan every single day. That boat sat in the water for about six months; the only time it was out was when I beached it at high tide to scrape the bottom. It ran morning and night, Monday to Friday at least, for months. Before that it was a commercial transport for a dock builder and ran...a lot. I have full maintenance records from the dock builder, and they're thorough, but not tons of parts replacement, to be honest.
At the beginning of 2019 before I moved to Ruxton, I had to get the heat exchanger welded because I'd left water in it and it froze.
At the end of the year, I had to replace the U-joints. But they had god knows how many hours on them and they were fine, just creaky.
What else...cap and rotor at the beginning of the year, and clean up the engine ground a couple of times. Zincs.
That might be the whole list. Oh, wait, no, the starter died in the winter of 2019, again with god knows how many uses on it, it was ancient. But you get the idea. I'm not trying to say they're better or even the equal of a modern outboard but that's a forty year old Volvo leg, bolted to a PCM 302 that's maybe fifteen years old.
I'm not an advocate for I/Os or anything, but I don't think your experience is typical, although I don't dispute that it definitely sucks and in the same literal boat, I'd also probably never touch another I/O.

Marinex were building aluminum boats way, way back when I lived in Rupert, many boats have come from that company. They did well when herring skiffs were all the rage in the fishing industry..Log into Facebook

I am just in discussion with the seller on this boat and quite serious about making a move. Little rough around the edges but these Arima's seem tough.

One of the most honest sellers I’ve ever seen. Pretty much just posted pics of the flaws, where most try to hide them. That’s admirable!
