It's probably in better shape than a boat that was just traded in.
As you make your deal, I wouldn't dicker the little stuff to save $100. Look at what costs you a lot, but costs the dealer little: Winter storage, shrink wrap, winterize, dewinterize, spring launch, maybe some extra canvas work to be done over the winter. There's lots of stuff in this life besides the purchase price.

I would also add that when I bought my rental, it came with a full tank, valet service for the remainder of the year (since I didn't have a place to keep it yet), winter removal and storage, and spring service and launch. Those, along with the fact that it was a *fair* deal and a positive experience, started me in the right direction.
