1990 V in da Bronx!

A guy sent me a couple videos of the boat running and the motor sounds great! I’m looking at the vid and maybe I’m over seeing things but it almost looks like the transom could be spongy. I can’t figure out how to bring the vids from Facebook messenger to here. Also, there seems to be a slight language barrier between the seller and me. The original ad is in Facebook marketplace. Trying to figure out how to post that here as well.

Ok, this is the original ad. The videos, I couldn’t figure out. Apparently, it’s a completely different operation to share those. I’m not looking to take on a transom as I did one years back when we converted the sea ray from I/o to bracket. At this point, I just wanna splash and go. It seems like a good value and I’m sure if we could get past the language thing, I could probably knock him down a few bucks. I wasn’t really looking for another V, but I may not be able to match the value.

This guy came down to $3,000. I’m gonna give him another week or three and offer him $2,350, delivered. Needs a motor but the hull looks like it’s in great shape!

Is that jack plate hydraulic or manual. looks like at some point long shaft motor put on a short shaft transom. No matter, if motor is going anyway.

I believe Key West have a composite transom, so no worries there. Older ones have fuel tank issues from foam and on the smaller ones, deck has to be cut out to replace. Can't blow up pic to see if fuel compartment has a hatch lid or not.

would be a fun skiff with a new suzuki 140
