The transom is thinner that a V20's... I'd say 1 1/2" thick. It cracked right at the top 2 bolts. The Todd cooler seat with a flip backrest is in good mechanical shape but the upholstery is shot. All the controls seem to be in good shape. The steering is nice and free. According to the PO the steering cable is only 1 year old. Zero signs of rust or any damage on it. I've already removed the engine and will be towing the boat to my house, probably tomorrow. The bottom two bolts have a full length plate across them and I don't see any signs of damage. The top two bolts only had a small square of plate behind each one and that's probably why the transom cracked. On a score of 1-10 with 10 being brand new I'd give the overall condition of the boat a solid 5. The hull is solid. It's dirty and needs some TLC, and of course the transom needs to be reinforced or replaced, but with a lighter engine it just might be feasible. Officially the boat is 19'6" in length. I'd call it 19 foot realistically. If you want to take a look at it before I start stripping it let me know. I'll PM you my phone number. The tandem axle trailer under the boat is not included in the sale, but I have a good single axle trailer with papers that's sitting under my V20 that is included. The two Cannon downrigger mounts are not included.
