Need some help
 
Hey guys, we have been wanting to upgrade to a 35 lightning but we came across this boat last week and are next inline to proceed with a survey etc... I'm not sure, but something doesn't make sense as to why the price point is where it is on this boat. They have sent me a list of everything recently redone and it's pretty much everything. If anybody knows anything about it I would sure appreciate any advise or info. I'm just a little hesitant because it doesn't seem to be priced as others of the same age. Thanks again!

Looks pretty clean and I imagine its always been a freshwater boat. How many hours? Did that boat have a wrap on it at one time? I like the dash.

I'm not sure about the wrap, as far as I know it hasn't. Has 475 hrs, motors have just been gone through by Leon Derebury. Many items have been replaced, should find out tomorrow if it's still available. I'm not convinced there wasn't/isn't something wrong with it. There's a stress crack right at the air vents along the side, the rear deck upholstery needs replaced and the rub rail is beat up pretty bad. The upholstery is of no concern, I'm not sure what were going to do yet.

i don't know the boat. But if its offered by Heartland Marine (AKA texas repo boats) i would make sure you look it over good. I looked at a boat for a friend there. He was in detroit and over the phone they never told him it was a Hurricane sandy boat. Lucky I was close to look at it. The other thing if you notice the trailer has parts of it covered up like where it should say Myco Trailers, I have seen 3 boats they had listed and had stuff on those covered up in the listing. If its all good it seems like a GREAT buy. But you know the saying If it sounds to good to be true...Good luck!

That's exactly what I think, I spoke with a surveyor close to the area and he said they are known for repairing salvage boats.
Thanks for the info everyone, I think we'll keep looking.
