If its the red and white one on Craigslist I looked at it last fall. I don't know about the motor but the boat was clean and nice. Guy selling it didn't try and hide anything.

Gene builds reliable HP. It is done right. All good parts. Approximately 75 trouble free hours on it already. It runs strong and efficient. Nothing to be leery of. Your comment has no basis in fact.
