So the all important question here. How its the core and transom on it? Sweet boat for sure. If I ever got into fishing it would be my boat of choice for sure. Heck, even if I wasn't a fisher this boat could possibly change that if I got one they are that cool.

it is nice and dry,had a few funky motor holes drilled in the transom,had a force125 when i got it, :lol: ,so had an easy life,actually it hasn't been run much in 20 yrs.,buddy I got it from likes his ranger better for fishin',I just wanna clean it up,livewells and all fishin' stuff is intact and good shape,just re-plumbed with new aerators within a few years. I have a Cajun with a 245 bport,but this will be fun to play by myself in and alot cheaper to run,

I have drilled the transom for core samples,it is solid,I can't find any delamination in any of the floor or transom,or any of the factory seams and it still has oem flat black primer or whatever they shot it with in excellent shape,will drill the core in the spring,when it warms up,it is wrapped and stashed for the winter,just thought I would help liven things up in "the morgue" :lol:it needs all that crappy clearcoat sanded down before I can decide to save the gel,or paint,
