    I ran into a private seller, selling a 2012 Utility with 1,100 hours. Brakes 90%+. Virgin tires 95%. 53 ft. Been about a week but I believe engine is a SB230 TK..anyways he wants $35,500. Thoughts?

    Sounds good, got many in the fleet that are that age, and they all seem pretty good. Just depends if the unit was properly maintenanced.
     
    D&L Thanks this.
