    Looking at buying a 2000 cobalt 226 loaded with every option a mercruiser 502 with 157 hrs boats in excellent condition asking 25,000 is that a little high

    The 502 makes that boat very desireable. I would say 18-25k is a fair price range for that model.

    Be sure and have the boat surveyed prior to purchase.

    Agree with both of the above. Even though it is a 2000, having a 502 with low hours (assuming the clock is accurate) does tend to keep the price higher. Also, Gelcoat condition, interior condition, trailer, how it is stored can also influence the price. Good luck!

    Bill did you get the boat - we have a 7.4 MPI (stock) and a 502 will make that bad boy fly. Any experiences to report?

    thanks

    No I didn't. It was a beautiful boat but I thought he was asking to much. He sold it for 26000

    I have seen quite a few Cobalts for sale near me in various sizes and price ranges. I am confident you will find the right boat for you.
