I find it amusing how many people when trying to sell a boat show it "aired out". Is that really the message you want potential buyers to get?

Nice boat though!

I spoke with the gentleman a few times the boat is in a sorry state, the cabin is wordless mold everywhere in large quantities the trapdoors of the front deck are no longer waterproof each time it rains or the snow melts everything the cabin which receives the state of the floor and the stringers worries me in the cabin, and without saying the remaining transom must be in a state to advance also like all the cigarettes of this year

Owner of the boat for 20 years that I understood he believes that his ssm3a and hubber transmissions are worth the price he asks for, he says that the drives were checked in 2014 if I'm not mistaken, good potential but release a lot of change to put it back in condition the guy says a good cleaning and 2 engine and he near I doubt his

Well that’s a shame. Looking at the pics it looked like it was in very rough shape. But I was hoping it wasn’t that bad. Don’t want a stringer or transom replacement project.

Just don’t know how you can say the interior is in exceptional condition and say it needs a cleaning when it’s clear it all needs to be redone.

I do not know if the stringer and transom are to be redone but to look at the state in which it was left I would tend to say yes, the gentleman sent me photos of the cabin he had tons of water and snow which we sink through the traps of the deck the carpet was soaked with the experience that I have I believe that the floor of the cabin must be in an advanced state

I would like to buy it but never at the price it wants and it does not look very negotiable

thanks for the heads up. I figured you didn’t know for sure and you were suggesting that your opinion would be replacement. I would have to think you are correct but like you said. Wouldn’t know until you had it further checked out.
