talked to the owner last night via text. seems like a pretty good guy, retired coast guard. he says the boat is solid. he uses it regularly so it hasnt been setting. he was 50 miles offshore in it two weeks ago and he has a child same age as mine that he takes out in the boat all the time so i believe him when he says the vessel is safe. i liked the pics he sent me and he liked the pics of my trailer that i sent him, so this might happen.
i would much rather have a center console, especially after deciding to get one and restore it. been a lot of planning, research and preperation not to mention salesmanship and bribery to get the wife reluctantly onboard. was gonna build that cc up really nice and am pretty excited about what the end result would be. but man, what a lot of work! if this one is good to go and all i have to do is put my motor and my electronics on it... fishing is a lot more fun than working on a boat. and im sure that the boat will fish fine, even though not as well as a cc much better than what i have now. so i can spend some quality time with my little boy out in the marsh catching trout, wich was the whole point of this endeavor in the first place.
if i do this, maybe down the road i can trade this thing for a center console? or maybe sell it relatively easily? these dually's are pretty rare but are they desireable?
ill keep you guys posted
