It that boat really 24'? It really doesn't look any longer than a V-20.

Looks like a nice ride. My buddy had an old robalo with the identical hull. Rode like a dream. Going on Saturday. Will most likely pull the trigger.
Only issue I can see, the trailer is torsion bar suspension. He says the torsion bar is shot and the trailer is riding on the axles. It’s a good 60 mile trip. It’s gonna be long and slow.

Well, if it does need axles, good news is they are easy to change,
bad news is they are about $500 bucks apiece.

Hard to believe they are worn out.

Yea, I see torsion worn out all the time(buddy runs a trailer shop), not a hard job, measure for the replacements at least three times before ordering. You need to double check that price, galvanized just went thru the roof. Lets Go Brandon

No, doesn’t look like a big job, but I know it’s pretty pricey. How bad would it be dragging it home 60 plus miles?

Well, I spoke to the guy and I’m 75% sure he’ll drag it to my driveway. It’s a pretty good trip, so I’m gonna give him the $4K he asked for. It had a small soft spot on the tank hatch he reinforced with what looks like a stainless plate. It doesn’t concern me and the fact that it’s on the tank hatch will make it easier to repair, when I have the time and a few extra bucks. Looks like it’ll be here with me in the next couple weeks. I know it’s a pain in the a$$ to post pictures, but I’ll give it a go.
I’ll keep you posted.
