$300-500 but not $500 for an already cracked & welded boat.

Am I unrealistic in my hopes?
Should I expect to reasonably pay $500 for a welded boat?

Specify what size you want....have you searched elsewhere? Portland CL is another good spot to check. Post an ISO in the FSBO section here too. Boats take time. I had one for sale...had to post it several times, but it finally sold, same with the ones I've wanted to buy. Check your sites daily!

The Mamba is a tough one to find in the used market, like the nomad, shiva and other thoroughbred boats people are paddling them until the end of the boats logical lifespan. You can usually tell if a boat is not popoular by the amount of them you see for sale used.

Cant hurt to try! All they can say is no, then you are in the same "boat" anyway.

(probably very) used Mamba for $250, get it while it's hot. https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/spo/5349561625.html
I texted him and it's an 8.6, which is too big for me.

This is the 8.5 which is the previous generation of Mamba, not as fine a vintage but has good legs.
