Sure looks like a friend of mines old boat. I know he had his for sale years ago. It sat real low at the rub rail on the swim platform. The boat ran great. He bought his new in Destin Florida. He had a top installed for his wife.

I wouldn't buy ANYTHING out of their yard. They totally mistreat all their boats. That happened to mine. Make sure they don't get their hands on it. Or...there is a similar one for sale in essington, pa..jacks transmission shop....502's. Very clean.

They are just listing agent, boat is actually in New Jersey in the guys garage. The guy with the listing at Jackson has actually not seen the boat.

When it comes to buying used stuff you got to know what your looking at and do all your research. There a limited few out there that will be honest and tell you the truth. Unfortunately the majority are just your typical salesman that want to push it out the door and get a pay day. Just my 2 cents

Yea i don't disagree at all, and most listing agents don't even know anything about what they are selling in my experience. But fortunately a good friend of mine, and the guy who does all of my work has known the listing agent for 20+ years.

I dont know anything about it, but I would love to own it!

That thing looks CLEAN for a '98 boat, and the HP500's is a nice option.

Yea I know it was for sale by owner over the winter, as I know a guy that actually went and looked at it. He said it was very meticulously clean. But it it needs some maintenance work for sure. What I know as of now it is going to need transom assemblies gone through with atleast new bellows, and the motors haven't been touched so top end refresh at minimum.
