All this drama will definitely poison this boat for a long time to come. Long after the fine points of the debate have faded from memory, all anyone will remember is that there was lots wrong with it, whether there is or not.
The seller has done himself no favors by continuing this debate.

jeeez. its a fckn used boat and like ALL used boats it will have issues. so you buy it for a fair price, spend some money fixing the issues, use it for a few years and sell it to someone else who will also have to fix/repair chit when they break. its all about value. can the issues be fixed without taking a beating is the bottom line. not what someone says on a website. some of the best deals ive witnessed were boats that were "said" to have issues. one that i remember vividly was a cafe racer that was badmouthed on oso over and over again with a wet transom. the boat was bought dirt cheap and guess what. the transom was dry as a bone. this isnt rocket science. every buyer just needs to do his own due diligence.

Go-fast-pilot. You've looked at the boat, if any one wants your info they will PM you so maybe just let sleeping dogs lie and let the man sell his boat.

I think it only matters to you
I have several people calling to buy the boat, so I dont think it matters what anyone says.
Yes I am trying to do everybody a favor who is interested in buying this boat, but I dont think you know what a favor is.

I disagree. 1) I haven't heard any bad so far and 2) a serious buyer will dismiss all of this as rumors and nothing else. Once you step up and look at the product all the BS fades away. Good luck with the sale John.

After someone else looks at this boat I want their opinion.
