Thanks for the replies.

I still have no photos but after looking at it a 2nd time, here's a little more info.

The shows like it's about 3 or 4 years old. No spiderwebbing,1 little scratch in the gel coat. I've owned 6 boats (from 20' - 34') and this could be the cleanest used boat I've considered buying. I am really amazed at the condition for a 20 YO boat.

The transom is rock solid. I stood on the outdrive, lifted it up,pulled on it in all differnt directions--no flex,no cracking sounds--solid. There are no soft spots in the deck. Again very solid.

The engine is raw water cooled. I have not done a compression check yet. There is no rust, no cracked hoses. From what I could see the bilge area looks as clean as the rest of the boat

I couldn't see much in the way of the stringers but again no cracking or separation from the hull from what I could see.

As I sighted down the hull, there are no waves or bulges. The hull visually does not look twist or mis-aligned.

This is the 2nd owner. He knows the 1st owner. It has only been left in the water(LI Sound) 1 year. Other than that it has been trailered. The bottom has only 1 coat of bottom paint.

Ther is no canvas other than an almost brand new mooring cover. No eletronics to speak of.

It is not in the water but we started the engine using engine muff. It started right up. It shifted in & out of gear easily(no load on the engine or tranny). Steering felt fine(again no load)

The price that's being asked is $7K and it's a 1987.

Other than a compression test., any comments are welcome
