If only it were $39.9K, ugly as sh*t, and the PO put every dime into the things that actually count.

Maybe he had to sell cause he ran out of funds to do the project!

Really though, When i clicked the ad, I expected to see some nice big HP.....i guess not!

I thought it would have big power as well, not to mention maybe updated bilge paint. However, bling power would be easy compared to what he has done.


On another note, zoom in on the transom corners of pics 2 and 3, I get the feeling this boat is just very photogenic based on the scars and shotty rub rail, transom that show in the zooms. Still, it has 30k paint and 20k interior.....I can't decide!

Id say the faults are just minor and days fixes at tops.

not my point, that is just what we see in pictures. If those defects can be seen what are we not seeing? I have seen boats look great in pics and crap in person. For lipship to sell a complete boat for this price, running or not, there has to be more too what we can see in pictures
