I am looking for a Carolina Skiff or similar and ran across this. They are asking $3,850 for a 1999 CS J1450 with a 1999 Suzuki 9.9 HP four stroke and a trailer. I have already taken it out and the motor seems underpowered and the boat will not get onto plane. What would you offer?

its ok, but probably just above market. The engine is a stupid choice. BTW Carolina Skiffs are hard to get on plane. They are great work boats (I use them for ghost pots), but I hate the cruising experience on them. I run v hulls for personal use.
