Specific boat info:
- Engine hours approximately 230.
- Lower unit serviced every year (gear lube + impeller)
- Trailer tires replaced 2019.
- New stern light and base.
- 3 working batteries (2 new)
- Fuel pump rebuilt 2019. New fuel injectors and spark plugs as well. I have used NON-ETHANOL ever since. That ethanol fuel will eventually eat up the fuel lines and plug fuel injectors. Ask me how I know.
- Boat starts and runs no problem. Bilge, live well, batteries, charger, trolling motor, gauges, lights, etc. work fine. Not fast, but planes well and is reliable. Runs about 55 MPH….50 MPH loaded in rough water.
- Boat has been garage kept until late last year. My wife wanted to remodel the garage so we had to find storage.
Everything wrong with the boat:
- Left trailer fender is dented. First time out, someone backed into my trailer at the boat ramp.
- Right trailer accent light is flaky. Needs a better ground.
- Seats have 4 small tears, but still in pretty good shape IMO.
- Trailer wheel bearing seals are getting weak. Probably need replacing. This creates more of a pain the neck and a mess than a mechanical problem.
- Water pressure sensor doesn’t work. This boat didn’t come with a water pressure sensor, so I installed my own. Its connected between the thermostats and connected to the NMEA network connected to the Lowrance electronics. This sensor stopped functioning last year and I have yet to replace it. New sensor is about .
- I don’t have a back seat for the boat. Front leaning post…but no back seat. When fishing, I typically remove the stern seat to give myself lots of room to walk around.
All in all, she’s a solid boat. If you wind up buying her, and discover something is wrong, I can promise you I didn’t know that before I sold her to you.
