SS7M Help Please
 

Hey All, I am going to be looking at possibly purchasing a 1981 SS7M 24 footer. Just a few questions if you all don't mind.

I know this is a almost 30 year old boat, but are these hulls prone to rot in any areas of the hull? transom? engine mounts? etc? If so how do I check for this? Is there an easy way?

This boat has a 454 with a TRS drive and Borg Warner trans. I have been told the seats have been repaired but the cabin looks to be original.

I will going to check her out as soon as I can get a day off, just looking for any pointers on what to look for as I am not to familiar with these hulls.

Thanks in advance to all who care to chime in!!

That boat has been for sale by three owners in three years here in Maine. Make sure you find out why!!!!! Sarted in bar harbor then south to bath and now in Washington!!!!

Sounds like something might be fishy!!! Not sure if I want to drive that far now to look at it since I live in upstate NY.

WOW NY to Washington and i thought from Miami to AZ was far :eek: but the boat does look pretty clean...i will say they are great rough water hulls for that size

whats the deal now with it?

Don't know whats the deal with it now as the day I posted this and you all started to chime in... the ad on craigslist disappeared! So either it sold, or he decided to keep it... who knows?

hey guys im the proud new owner of that boat needed a few grand worth of work to the boat and trailer but it was worth it runs real strong and enjoy every moment on it
