WHAT WOULD YOU BE COMFORTABLE PAYING FOR THIS (IF ANYTHING)?
Back Story: I put up some CL posts saying I am looking for a 10' (ish) boat. Guy emails me and says I am moving and have a 10.5' Hypalon raft for sale. We plan to go out Thursday night and run Clear Creek. He has been rafting this thing like he is never rafting again and doing multiple trips a day this week. Well today is Thursday and he tmeexts me saying that he punctured it on Clear Creek today and tonight is off but the boat is still for sale as he is moving.
The Boat:
Manufacturer unknown. Was told it was made in China on a contract job for a Costa Rican tour company.
Year Made also Unknown but looked new when he got it this spring (Looks fine in all the photos he has sent me)
He says it needs to be pumped every few hours but that seems typical in cold water when you are doing after work runs and the temps drop in the high country.
Punctured. I have no idea how bad.
Would you just search elsewhere or throw a few hundred at him and have this puncture professionally patched?
