Here are the pictures that I just took, I could be wrong about the year of the boat. Anyone have any idea?





I have a bunch more, but am not sure if I uploaded them properly. If anyone would like to see more let me know.

Thanks,

Joe

Gotta be a '79-'80 or newer...25" transom and raised cap...does it have scuppers and a 60 gal. tank?... :)...look at the starboard transom, under the rub-rail...see any numbers?...last two are year model...on most any production boat...unless it's transom got rebuilt...

High bow-rail...must be after-market as it comes down on the pulpit...nice job on both... :D...

Yea, the scuppers are actually where the problem originated, there wasn't a complete seal and you can see the rot right in there. It looks like they tried to fix it, but didn't do a hell of a job.

Here is a picture of the scuppers

RULE #1 when looking for a boat to buy: DON'T fall in love w/anything til AFTER you buy it...easy to say...hard to do, but let your common sense and practicality take over as you look around... ;) :)...leave the emotions at home...take the "game-face" w/you...

Just check it out good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would not worry about the motor to much as by the look of it you will replace down the line!!
Use it to lower the price!!

As or the boat, if it checks out good and you decide your getting it, It looks nice!!
I love the bow rail and pulpit! and the Radar Arch I think its a good locker!
