How much difference in the cabin does it make with the center entry? I cant tell what the true colors are on the side by the picture. I'm not having any luck getting in contact with the owner to get any better photos.

I own a center entry boat and have no problems with it at all. The bathroom is smaller but I dont live in there.
The center entry door has better head room & easier to get into the cabin. I like the split bolster setup for me.
To each there own.

Careful - When we & Macklin saw it, the entire cabin was damp even wet in places. There was mold everywhere - behind seats, under dash, in the wiring harness, everywhere! Plus the paint in the motor box was bubbled up and needed to be re-done. In "my" opinion, the boat was not really well cared for. Note the scum line - this pic was in early Feb. That means the boat sat all winter w/o being washed.

That said - It was nicely set up and once clean - would be a nice ride!

Note the wiring pic - those dark splotches are mold.

Some more pics - check the wrinkled paint in motor box.
The dark stuff is mostly mold and dirt.

Now when Macklin was going to buy it - the boat was going to back to AT for motor box to be repainted and boat cleaned up.

All the negative stuff here is cosmetic - easily remedied. We all recommended the boat to Mac - he saw what we saw too. I believe for what you could likely buy the boat for - it would be a good deal. Or buy it for full price and have owner fix / clean / repair all issues.

I have a bunch of pictures I took of it - give me your email address and I'll send them to you. It really is a beautiful boat.

Bill! Man, I was just going to shoot Buck a PM with this information, but you tell the world.

Yeah, the boat needs to go back to the factory, which was included in my deal....that went south.

Glad it did because I'm loving my setup!
