Does anyone have any information on or know anything about the 35 Lightning listed on Boat Trader? I'm currently looking for something like this, and as you know one can never have enough information when buying a boat like this! Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Craig.

Not familiar with that one. Looks a bit rough from the pictures. Wouldn't touch it without a survey.
1) Fresh water only...but was it kept in fresh water for the season? (check for moisture if it wasn't a trailer queen)
2) Status of those 525's? Top ends done? They are due at those hours, so that would be on the new owner.
3) Tailpipes are weird. Boat probably came with Fountain mufflers but they look modified. Anything else not stock? Says silent choice?
4) No bilge pictures and no interior pictures?
5) Some missing switch boots. Safety lanyard on the floor.
6) If you are selling your boat....it should look in best shape possible for the ad. This doesn't
Proceed with caution. 525 35's in great shape are $125K....this is priced below that for a reason. Probably priced still too high if it is need of TLC and deferred maintenance.
