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.

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.
