What shape are the transom and deck in?

HI,
It does look somewhat like a Sceptre / Tsunami but the big difference is the center console and where the motor is mounted. It's truly a neat set up. The cabin is like a Tsunami but most of the weight is low in the center where the motor and captain are. No outboard motor well and no outboard bracket...... Easy to fish out of boat
Check out the " Specification " page .
Thanks ,

1. What kind of shape are the deck and transom in?

2. How old is the wiring?

3. Is it the original gas tank?

4. Any electronics & bolster cushions?

5. Are there trim tabs?

6. What kind of steering system does it have?

Hi Peter B,
I'll answer your questions in order....
1 - The deck is in pretty good shape. No soft spots. The transom is in super condition. It had a swim platform and outboard ( trolling kicker ) bracket that I removed and plugged the holes with wood dowels and epoxy . Not very pretty but I was planning to have the transom painted and have a name put on..... The rest of the hull blue paint is in pretty fair condition. I believe with some effort and knowledge it could be brought back to great.
2.- I have owned the boat for 5 + years but only got to fish it for one year... No problems with wiring but I'm sure it's original...
3.- I think it has original welded marine aluminum tank.
4.- The only electronics when I bought it was a 1977 flasher fish finder, marine radio and AM FM radio. ( Radio is built in and has a tape player , works fine > I did not put anything new on as I planned to do so upon completion. Anything over a year or two old would be outdated ... As for cushions it has the coming cushions on are nice. The cushions up forward in the cabin are OK if you like fabric. It has a super leaning post with great cushion and removable back rest... It fits in the built in rod holders. NICE. Also nice storage cabinet under the cushion that is on a hinge, very convenient to have. Also a removable cooler that fits perfect under the leaning post. Great rod holders.... Canvas center console cover, Bimini top aft top and forward canvas that the previous owner would use when he spent the night on the boat...All in pretty good condition.
5.- Trim tabs. Nope. Thought I would go with electric "Lencos". Hear they work quicker in cold weather than hydraulic.
6.- Steering is original ( I think ) mechanical... It only has to move the rudder so steering is very easy.
I will be putting some more pictures on tomorrow ( I hope )
Thanks for your interest,
Ken

Nice boat. I could see a sweet tower on it like this 24 Topaz.
