so my eye are't playing tricks

He told me 275k on the phone 5 days ago, but I have something else working now thats a little more user friendly.

This boat could be very high maintenance. I plan to see it in a few weeks to see if it is of interest, but I have my concerns. A lot of 'history' behind this boat.

I talked to him for about an hour, he seems like a cool guy and really likes boats but I don't know if he knows a lot about them. It seems that he has the boat working good and says it's clean but I have heard different. I want a boat with a padded hatch, bench rear seat, and a gen. and by the time I ad all that it's back up out of my price range. Plus I needed to trade or sell my 42 and I am getting good $ for it from Nortech and he didn't want it and I don't want to wait for a buyer.

Saw the boat first hand.

Im my opinion, it is rough and needs glass work, paint, new seats, carpet... overall it is really in need of a lot of TLC. Drives need paint and have new skegs welded on to the bottoms (outside drives). Engines fired and idled well, but we did not get the boat wet. Would have to get this one for a good price and put some $$$ into it to make it shine. Says that he is not looking to dump the boat.

Also, the cockpit is small. Will keep my eye on it.
