Good looking setup. The boat appears in good condition. Check the floor for soft spots, check the transom for dry rot. His ad states that the cuddy is big and can sleep 2 guys easy. It cannot. It's a great shelter, and yes, you can put 2 people in the cuddy, but it gets cramped when you do. That being said, the engine is a very reliable unit, and the fact it's freshwater cooled makes it much more desireable.
HOWEVER!!!!!......
In My Humble Opinion.. he's way overpriced on the boat!! The conversion rate for Austrailian to United States means that $18,000 Aus = $18,286.73 US.

It's a really great boat, and in most circumstances will get you out and get you home safely and with minimal fuss. But the price is way out of line for the boat. The ultimate decision is, of course, yours. But if it were me I'd keep looking.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
