TREAD CAREFULLY!!!!!! Look...lets get real here folks. That boat is being sold by a dealer. A dealer that knows the value of boats and equipment. Sure, it's a great looking boat. In fact it's too good looking.
1) That trailer is a tandem I beam alum trailer.. easily worth $1200 by itself.
2) Look at the outdrive. Look at the prop. Look at the corrosion. If there's that much corrosion that it has eaten the propeller, what do you think the engine is like? To me that's an indication of the general maintenance that this boat DIDN"T get.
I'd be very leary of the transom and the stringers being a bunch of mushy sawdust.
Dealers do not sell boats low priced because they like you. They sell low priced because they know that's only what the boat is worth.
All that being said, if you're willing to put in the work and the expense of a transom, bracket and engine then you may very well have a good buy.
there.
Certainly, the trailer is worth it by itself.
Just my 2 pennies worth.
