I dont know why I didnt pick up on this before but she had tripple ram tabs at some point when the first series of pics were taken; I also have to agree that the transom isnt the best I've seen.. I feel there has been some variations in the power/drive configuration.. No doubt that the boat is in good shape (couldnt venture a guess on moisture in transom) but I dont think its any sort of smokin deal..

He sent me the same pictures I just thought it woul be in better shape for the money. It a bad price but I think 10k less is a deal
I really want to slowly restore/rebuild one but I want staggered

I agree with you. I'm not a big fan of that cheep looking plastic everybody uses as dashes. Inho the boat would be a lot more attractive with a STB side helm and period correct/oem dash layout. Also like the 28, the 33, and the Mistress theres something a little disproportionate about the bolsters sticking up past the gunnels.
Its not as bad on this 36 or a Mistress because the boats length to seat protruding ratio isnt as radical as a smaller hull.. I guess as far as proportions go the flatdecks, early Guns and Cafes are just about perfect.

Given the age of the boat it would be prudent to expect some moisture in the transom. I know it sat in water for at least one summer season in the Toronto Harbour and as is the case even the best silicone drys out. Still one of my favorite hulls. The only draw back between that and my flat deck is the wide body has a low freeboard .

Awesome Boat!
Based on the dash, big tabs, reverse scoops, etc. - It presents as a former race boat. Whether or not it was actually raced is another story but the helm layout looks like it could have been set up for a 3 man bolster.
