Re: Oh the misery....Help! *Need input
Was sold by him personally. There was no mention of the cracks....when I picked it up it was getting dark out, didn't notice them until about a week later, they were definitely there before though, there is some kind of peanut butter colored stuff filling in the cracks. The boat on the exterior looks great, interior leaves a whole lot to be desired but I didn't care about that. I was planning on painting her up and making her beautiful again. I can probably get pictures of the cracks in a few days to post.....problem is that its at the marina and they open after I leave for work and close before I get back. I asked the seller about the cracks after I had paid for the vessel, he said he was "unaware" so if that is the case, they have been there for 6+ years now.
What does seem odd to me about all of this is the transom is rock solid. Wouldn't you think if the stringers are shot that the transom would have gone too????
I am surprised the auction is still out there, thought it would have been 90 days already. He also failed to say in the ad that the skeg is missing a chunk out of it...look at the pictures of the lower unit, you can tell if you look really hard.....Guy must be a professional photographer for a living. The rod boxes were shot, seats don't budge so the floor there is still good.....just don't understand.
I know I am jumping all over the place. I thought I found a decent deal. Maybe it will just be some bad glass and not the stringers, the guy who looked at it yesterday said it was but who knows, maybe I'll get lucky yet!
