That's what I was wondering? It looks like it to me, I haven't been out to look at this yet.

Guy has 50 lbs of aluminum bolted to the transom. I'm sure it's rotten, and probably a bad core too. An inline with an aluminum prop. Boat will need a ton of work to make it safe. The gel looks reasonable, but certainly not pristine. $1500-2000 max, and be prepared to invest several thousand in hull repairs to make it safe.

Don't fall for the old "it's been garaged it's whole life crap either", we've heard that a thousand times, only to find a core full of mush.

Sorry, wish I had better news for you.

I also, saw the aluminum prop, then looked hard to see the low water pick up!..dual steering too. It's awfully clean for it's age... Nice interior, but not original.

$3500 is a lot for a 35 year old boat, but Pete, is it too much to feed a Liquid addiction or become a member of the Cult? :? :lol:
