Parrot,

I agree about the pics! That boat has been for sale for a year. I dont think the guy is too reponsive to inquiries. But ya never know until you see it in person. Those old looper evinrudes run forever!!! Commercial guys snatch them up used.

Where did your present boat come from? (NJ?) Did you know about the cracks before you bought it? You said (I think) that there was epoxy or putty or something on one of them? are the cracks open or just spider webbed? Did you test run the boat before purchase?

I heard somewhere that rainwater/freshwater rots wood faster then saltwater? Maybe the fresh sloshing around in your bilge had something to do with it?

I feel your pain.
