and that's the correct use of clean. tying that word to structure, operating systems is wrong.

This is clean, not a 10 but pretty tidy

Those are VERY clean engines -

spotless boat like AMII when Jeremy sold it was as good as new showroom because there was expense spared...that's CLEAN.

I think mines clean but nowhere near perfect... never been restored at all, always been inside or full covered... its "clean" not MINT

I hate when people play dumb or hide things when selling and you make a trip for no reason, I deal with it all the time with Cobras I buy and sell, to me spotless is SPOTLESS no rust, others spotless is "well I don't see any" meaning they didn't open a door or look under the car.....

When you ask for certain pics and you do not get them, do not go see it....like asking for bulkhead pics on a 311 Formula, they are known for it so many boats are rotted and people don't say anything and waste time.if you know the normal issues on a boat and know what to ask or look for it isn't issue, like engines... a good set of bilge pics can tell a ton, rusty parts, hack wiring, oil all over RUN..

that's rust running down transom is NOT clean, maybe he meant he washed the boat as in CLEAN? lol

IMO you can tell 90% about a boat just looking at the bilge and outdrive -- If the bilge looks like a "cow gave birth" and the outdrive is beat to snot, prop dings, broken steg, I can almost guarantee that the rest of the boat stinks.
