2 grand is too much...keep looking. Find a working boat w/trailer for around $3400-$3500. Spend you time fishing and boating, not restoring.

I like that boat because it's in good shape, all the hatch-lids are there, the doors, etc...it's complete and would be an excellent starting point for a restoration..but the guys are right 2Gs is just too high...and honestly that trailer doesn't look that great...is it galvanized?...or is that a paint job?...
Unless yer just FLUSH w/money, I'd walk...he musta paid too much for it when he bought it...

I agree on pic 9. Looks like rot under the thru hull. I would go thru it with a screwdriver trying to find rot. Two grand is high. You might recover some money selling the outdrive and motor. Give it a couple weeks then try again.
Also take the rod boxes out and check the stringers and floors (cross members) for rot. If i had done that on the 18 Fisherman i would have found rot and not have bought it.

Thanks so much guys. I'm going to wait a little bit longer. I actually looked at another boat today with a running johnson 120 for 1500 but damn near put my foot through the floor. Somebody took the caps off the transom and glassed it over. I shook the motor and the thing was all over the place and revealed where the glass had cracked all along the top of the transom...I definitely walked away from that
