you can check the serial number 16 different ways. Still a bravo one
but to be sure use that serial to order a prop shaft.

I appreciate that. I corrected the ad to "Bravos". Have a great night.

How wet is the hull? Are we talking transom and stringers or is everything down to coring have issues?

Surveyor was here the other day. Sounded the hull completely & moisture tested. His exact words were "Its wet but it's not rotted. Said he wouldn't have a problem "gassing it up" & running it to the Bahamas. Also stated waves & running it hard would not present an issue & it could most likely run this way another 8 to 10 years. Transom, decking where it attaches to the hull sides, steps up to the bow & stringers are the wettest.

If you weren’t planning to sell prior to the survey, I’d keep it another 8-10 years then part out.
But if you got the survey because you planned to sell, I understand the part out.

It was with a broker so that's how this came about. I was contacted this morning concerning buying the boat complete, said the wet wood really doesn't bother him. Awaiting on an as is offer with no contingencies. Obviously it's worth more in pieces which I explained to him.

Boat didn't sell so everything is for sale. Going to start taking it apart. Let me know what you need & I'll give you prices.
I'm heading up to Illinois & Ohio on Thursday April the 6th, can transport for delivery or meeting somewhere, saves shipping. Thanx again.

When it starts going through couplers every week you are done. Trust me once the wet transom starts flexing and delaminating it won't take much to punch the transom plate through the hull.

Been there done that trying to make it through a season.

I agree. Starting disassembly tomorrow. Done is done.
