Hull looks super clean, hard to tell for the pics provided. Was this boat kept in the water all it***8217;s life? Does the kicker come with it? How s the trailer look? Single axel or dual? Bunk or roller? Inspect bilge very close and take it for a ride.

That engine is on the slight side. But ok. Very reliable V 4. Easy to work on

I d check compression and lower unit oil

Not a bad price

Ok. Back from looking at the boat. Hard to give it a thorough once over as it’s shrink wrapped. From what I saw, the deck seems solid. Not rock solid, but way far from needing any attention. Transom was rock solid. For some reason, the kicker had growth. Not bad, but I’m wondering why anybody would leave the kicker in the water. Aluminum prop with a bit of a ding. Can absolutely be fixed. Couple layers of paint on the hull. Not a ton. My wife wants to dock it and I want to trailer. Yes, it would be easier and more convenient but I’m looking to prolong the life of this one. Even in the shrink wrap bubble, no fuel smell whatsoever. That’s gotta be good news. Missing one fish box insert. I fully expected that. All in all, a decent boat at a decent price. I don’t know why, but standing between the seats up front, it just seemed so small. Not at all like my last one. I’m not 100% if it comes with electronics or not. The guy said it comes with everything I see. I’m gonna mention the add shows a picture of a box of a plotter. I can’t really see anything that would make it a bad deal. Not the most beautiful trailer. Smaller bunk trailer, but looks like it’ll get the job done. We’re gonna run it this week and do a compression test on both motors. If it checks out, I don’t see a reason not to pull the trigger.

Well, compression is 140 across the board and it runs like a sewing machine. Couldn’t figure out how to load the video. Kicker is at 180psi. I’m gonna run back up this weekend and stop in at bass pro and grab a little outfit I saw. The old girl should be in my driveway in about a week. I won’t know how to post pictures either, so I’ll just do my best to describe everything.

Charlie, good luck. Here is how I post pictures, I load the pictures from where ever, camera phone to a folder on my PC, then while your posting or after your post scroll down to manage attachments, open it up, click on browse, it will open up your PC, find your folder, open that up and click on the picture you want. If it's more than one, repeat the process. For you video, again I save it to the folder than upload it on youtube, once it's completed loading, play it and then copy the URL and paste it into your report. It sounds long and difficult, it really isn't. I'm sure there are plenty of other maybe easier suggestions out there and everyone will try to help you out, but that's how I do it.

Giorgio, I’m not the technical wizard you are. Also, I use an iPad. I can’t remember the last time I fired up my PC. I may figure it out one day. I may not.
Until then, I’ll remain blissfully ignorant.
