I'm asking an opinion based on the info. I provided. This boat is effectively new.

Usage wise it is new, age wise it is 11 years old. That isn't neccesarily bad, but the sitting scares me the most. Dry rot is a terrible thing as well as rust and corrosion, and these things set in the worst from setting.

Your advice has been passed on by several other seasoned boaters. See other responses. The major part of my experience with boats goes back 50+ years as a mate with my father (Trawlers and gill netting). All wood. laying idle was no good for them either.

Thanks

If you're going to buy new look at a Parker first they are super super nice fishing machines in same money range. both boats built in NC.
