Well I'm still boatless. It had a lot more corrision and rust than the pictures showed. Also had some horrible gelcoat repair work. Although it was priced accordingly I felt that the unknowns behind the rust/corrision would add up real fast and become a bigger project than I want to deal with to make it acceptable for me.

That is one reason I hate to even go look at stuff. You drive all that way and that is definately information they could have given you by picture or conversation. Instead you drive for at least 16 hours to find out. Anyone who would let you drive that far knowing they did not disclose all the information I would not trust anything. That in addition to the fact that they are selling a boat!

I saw that boat at my shop when I was in Orange Beach in January. It is a clone of my boat. I didn't examine it well, but I could tell it was no where close to being as nice as mine. I wanted to say something but I guess the price reflects the condition!

Ya something's pictures just don't show. I don't put any faith into pictures anymore, I would rather go see it in person and put my hands and eyes on it. That's the only way you know. I also pulled the dip stick on the starboard motor and had rust chunks on it. Like the pan was rusting out, it wasnt shiny like it was a internal issue. I also think the motors would have needed to be pulled so the transom ass. Could come off to be blasted and painted, then everything else you do why they are out, starters, couplers, etc. Even at the price point it still wouldn't be worth it. IMHO, but thats me.
