There’s 3 for sale on Boat Trader currently, though one of those doesn’t come with a trailer. That being said, I’d probably be looking at the one in Florida first that doesn’t come with a trailer and is listed for $29k. I would, and did, also consider a 226/228 Seafarer as well if you’re interested, of which I bought mine for $26.5k.
We have an awesome 2003 Adventure 208 here in Long Beach, CA. we re-powered in 2018 with an 200hp Evinrude G2, now 340 hrs., with remaining 4 years of full mfg. warranty. VHF & GPS installed at same time. However, no hardtop or trailer. But, a well-maintained and easily used Grady White 208 for 6k+ less than budget. It is very quick, super reliable & modernly efficient. The mechanic who installed and looks after our boat & motor has installed the same motor on tour boats and shore-boats in Avalon and around Catalina Island, reaping thousands and thousands of hours out of the same motor. Recently fully serviced, new bottom paint this month. We're in no rush to sell but plan to do so in the coming years. A West Coast option. (We used U-Ship to bring her here 12 years ago from NJ with complete satisfaction.)
