Make a bid.. Definitely worth more than most similar boats out there, but I've set reserve lower than comparables I've seen advertised. Asking $39,000 in the classifieds but will consider best offer...

Some items:

Stable spider gelcoat cracks in the front corners of cockpit. Not worth polishing. Passengers never notice and it's a max flex area, so it would be a labor of love. The lower drive unit could use a paint job but nothing required or urgent as long as the boat is stored dry.. Paint on drive looks good but there is some peeling and wear unavoidable operating in Florida waters. Wind deflector has wear consistent with age. Some clouding. Trailer looks good and trailers fine but is showing age at the rear cross bar and back section of frame. Rust is starting to win in that area. Always sprayed down and stored under cover but it snuck up on me. I'm comfortable towing local but I wouldn't use it for long distance towing. Just no way to know how much is left in the cross bar. On the other hand, tires, bearings and the rest are in good shape.

It's a unique boat. Never see such high end options on a boat this size. Runs straight hands-free(not advised) because of the Latham hydraulics. Definitely confidence inspiring for a boat this size and power. Come take a look. It definitely brings a smile to everyone's face. We'll go run it in Cloud Lake by the West Palm Peach airport. It's a lot of fun for sure but I've moved into a downtown area and just not using it frequently enough..
