I'm not a big inboard fan but the 351 is the cleveland block which is an excellent motor and the boat looks like its also in excellent condition. 8 K looks like a steal ...Frank

I likey too. I'm not a big fan of I/O's and if it isn't outboard, I'd like a straight inboard. Repower it down the road with diesel. ;)

Ya know, after looking over this boat again, I think if it were me, I would have done things a bit different. Minor details. But; I would have gotten rid of that stern rail for sure. That's just going to hinder fishability. Some decent rod holders instead of the cheesy plastic clamp ons. And, I'd have probably gone with a leaning post for that setup rather than the flip-back cooler seat. Those cooler seats are comfy on smaller boats, but this one deserves a nice leaning post. All minor details especially for the low asking price, but I think it would have made a huge difference.
And, unless those uprights on the T-Top (only 2 from what I can see ???) go all the way through to the deck, I would question the strength or at least the longevity prospects of that setup.

Is that gas motor in that small engine-box ticking??...I think I hear it ticking??

Ticking? As in time bomb? It's only 3 yrs old with FWC. But, as I said, if it were mine, come repower time, a diesel would be getting dropped in there. ;) Straight inboard gas is usually pretty economical, but the diesel will go the distance. 8)
