Did you expect him to tell you he cheaped on repairs, left it in the water all the time, and didn't flush it as much as he should have? :)
It does have cloded cooling, which is a plus. However, after changing the wheel bearing on my truck that has seen 4 NY slaty winters I deciced I will never own a slat water boat. Things are tight enough in a bilge, can't imagine using torches and easy outs to get the job done. Seems like a good deal however, me thinks if he picked up a trailer somewhere and listed for $58k with trailer it would be sold by now. I agree 100% Salt water and NO trailer where 2 things that steered me away, along with the 'Tude I got from the seller. It IS a nice looking boat though, 50MPH at 4K in one of the videos, looks like it was well kept too. |

Yes, the video shows it cruising around Florida, not sure if its salt or not? I spoke to the seller about a year ago and Emailed a few questions, seller responded by telling me all the info was in the ad. Then he gave me the "cheesy" sales pitch
"have 4 guys interested" "2 guys are coming back with deposits". " price is FIRM, giving it away at this price" "It WONT last long" etc, etc, etc. That was probably at LEAST a year ago, guess the guys coming back with deposits got lost??........ As a current boat shopper I've heard just about every line in the book...yet somehow months later their boat is still for sale. :lolhit: |

No, that would be my boat.... After living on a freshwater lake for 10 years I still dont see the big deal of boating in salt, especially if you have closed cooling. If your boat is lift kept and flushed, salt water isnt that bad, just do a 5 min wash down. When I tore my engines apart the closed cooling system looked perfect. The only noticeable difference I see is possibly more drive wear. Other than that, boating in salt water is way better than any lake I have been. |
My boat was formerly used in Salt, its closed loop, but, stuff like interior, swivel pin and transom seals take a beating though.

If you had the choice of 2 five year old used trucks, one from NY and one from Florida which one would you choose? |

Not saying I don't like the ocean, I love it. However, a semi neglected fresh water boat is no big deal, salt it is a different story. Closed cooling works, no question. But it only eliminates one of many problems that occur with salt and metal.
