BY U BOY

boat looks like it has been taken care of. 25k for the package is a good price. Have a survey done,that 25k could easily turn into 50k.

He claims there was a survey done in '04 or '05 and he's going to send it to me. He just replaced the engine stringers when he installed the new motors. I appreciate any other comments.

Can ya tell I just learned how to post pics?

Looks like he poured a lot of money into it. However, the bottom paint would kill it for me and a huge portion of the performance boat-buying market.
You should always think resale when purchasing, and any offshore boat with bottom paint is going to be a hard sell to discriminating buyers. It also scrubs off valuable speed. I'd also look for a boat that didn't have to go through a stringer replacement.
If it were me, I'd keep looking.......

Educate me if you would (for I am truly a newbie) the bottom paint thing....people don't like it because????? I noticed in the water pic you don't really see the bottom that's painted and to be honest with you since I am new and this will be my first boat, is it really going to matter if it scrubs a little speed off? My guy says its been GPS'ed at 65...I'm really not looking to go 90 in my 1ST boat. Please explain..Thank you

My understanding is he painted the bottom so there would be less maintenance and I've noticed several in my search that have been painted.
