Look at second pic of the original listing in cabin, is that a water line?
For me that boat is just too old and much more to fix it up compared to what can be purchased on the market, I do not see one thing about it that does not need attention it looks like a big money pit to me.. but it is a boat they all are....

It was on Craigslist a LONG time with no bites, at least 2 years, I heard it was under water at one point, the source if true is reliable, but was LONG ago.... the boat needs LOTS of work.....he had it on swap shop for 30,000 no way it will pull that, maybe at best the 18 it went to he should take, he paid 15,000 I think

Not worth much at all from what i see, cable steering, old controls, poor wrap , crap motors trs boat. Needs lots of attention and money. Go buy one with better hardware and shape and you won't be chasing the 8 ball.

From looking at the picture, it MAY, but not sure. You would think that if it was and they cleaned up the carpet, that they would clean that up too, but you never know with people. The other thing I noticed was that it had Mercruiser external steering at one time. Why did they take it off?

En heard the boat was stripped by owner due to lot of money spent on motors that didn't last very long. If Phil wants to get into I'm sure he will if not I respect that . As much as I heard he got beat up on it and not due to his fault of any way.
