It's a 1990 hull and the motors are 1993. It might need a gas tank. Other than that and a good cleaning it's good to go. I'm going to keep an eye out for newer power. Or maybe sell my boat without the motor and just look for one more.

I started looking after we talked too but I only find inboards. The Carolinas and Albemares are all inboards or jackshaft i/o too. I like that old style motor well, no need to do a bracket. I'm looking for one cheap enough to be able to swing a re-power with new 4 stroke zukis. Thanks for the sea trial review, good to hear. Congrats, Good Luck with it

Pete that boat is the best of the best 24' boats on the market!!!!!!!!!!!! I think Shamrock made a copy of that boat with twin V-8's too.
Best of luck with her!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys. The boat needs a gas tank so I need to sell my V20. With any luck I'll have her good and ready for the spring striper run.
