One thing that may have contributed is the water in the side bilges as shown in the OP. The lack of covers or drain hoses on the rod holders was a pretty big concern to me as a potential buyer and there is no way I would have left the boat that way as an owner....speaks to the overall maintenance that may have (not) been done.
I also found the seller told me that he installed the motor as a leftover in '06 when I called the place that installed it and they confirmed that it was installed in '04...although they also said that they did the fall and winter maintenance so that is a plus i guess. They also said that the boat was not sunk and that they never noticed any water intrusion when working on the boat.
