Has anyone seen this boat in person?

Wondering how it looks up close and personal. Seems like it might be an OK price except for the motor...

We're gonna need a system where we send the Fla boys some incentive so they can eyeball these southern boats for us notherners [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Save us the Survey fees & initial plane tickets...

I'm guessing LT will work for Mich Light

I am in Central Fl, and fish the east coast 1-2 times a week, and the west coast 1-2 times a month. If you guys find something in the center of the state, I might be interested in checking it out, and sending you digitals and video.
Just let me know.

HI ALEX,LT HERE, THE HULL IS SOLID,THE MOTOR IS OLD,AS IS ALL THE RIGGING. NO TRAILER. IT'S A GREAT CANDIDATE FOR A REPOWER & RERIG. NOT A MAJOR REDO BY ANY STRETCH. ONLY PROBLEM IS,BY THE TIME YOU DO ALL THAT,THEN ADD A T-TOP AND BUTT REST,SOME BASIC GADGIT'S(DEPTH,GPS,VHF)......
YOU'LL HAVE $40K+ IN A BOAT THAT'S WORTH $22-25K?
NO? THERE'S MORE TO THE STORY THAN MEET'S THE EYE HERE ALSO. THE BOAT'S ON CONSIGNMENT. THE GUY THAT OWN'S IT BOUGHT IT FROM A LOCAL DEALER THAT I KNOW. THE SKINNY IS THE GUY PAID HIM $8500 FOR THE BOAT 2 MONTHS AGO THE DAY BEFORE IT HIT THE TRADER FOR ONLY $9000. HE KEEP'S THE RIG OUT OF THE TRADER FOR A COUPLE OF WEEK'S,THEN PUT'S HER BACK IN FOR,,,,$16,500.I'VE TALKED TO THE GUY THAT OWN'S IT,HE'S LOOKING FOR ONE OF YOU YANK'S TO COME ALONG WITH A LITTLE MORE CASH THAN BRAIN'S,SO HE CAN MAKE A BIG SCORE.THE DUDE'S JUST TO GREEDY FOR ME.THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE BOAT CONSIGNED ARE STRAIGHT SHOOTER'S AND KNOW THE STORY BEHIND THE BOAT.THEY TOLD ME THAT THE GUY'S PRICE IS WAY TO HIGH,,,I THINK THEIR RIGHT.

ltDan, thanks for the skinny. I was going to venture that the boat was worth around $10k in my book, assuming the transom is solid. Thought it might be as it looks like the boat has always been trailered (assuming that's original gel). I actually want a boat w/o a T-top, so that is not an added cost for me. Looking for a solid hull that only needs repower and minor rigging work.

Maybe I should call up and offer $8,501. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

We had a thread going on this boat a few months back. Exactly like LT said, the boat went up for 9K and was immediately sold. Then the guy got THOUSANDs of calls on it. Makes sense that he's holding out for big coin...

LT - just hit the "IMAGE" button near the bottom of the reply page and add this into it: http://www.striped-bass.com/vbulleti...s/beerchug.gif

That will bring it up - cheers ... BTW - I have a couple more I use on my site

Like with real beer:

Anything that is pee yellow and won't give a good head is not a good beer...
