Where are the deck drains ??
Wont let me post the pics of the rear floor near the transom. Do others agree that the rear floor doesnt look right or am I looking at it wrong. ?? ??? |
I think that's normal.
If the transom and decks are solid and no fiberglass work is needed, I'd say go for it. Only problem is you can't really trust the owners word...ask me how I know :-/
If it was a cuddy, I'd say don't do it....but you are right about Duallies being rare. From the pics it looks like it's just a bunch of elbow grease. Tell him to get more pics of the keel, you can see an area forward that needs some attention, may be just some gel coat work??? Was boat kept in the water?
I'd also be leary, as you are, of the trailer...looks like dual axle, is it? Weird how the center longitudinal has rust but the rest of the trailer, from what you can see, looks pretty much rust free??? Get more pics of axles,springs, tires and hubs and ask about bearings...refurbishing a tandem trailer will not be cheap.
It's really a crap shoot. You may have an awesome deal that with little investement and some elbow grease you'll have a great boat......or, rotten transom, soft decks, shot trailer........
Find out as much as you can BEFORE you make the trip....and still plan for the worst.
Good luck!
