The bad that is now Good This boat had a period in its life that it appears to have a back yard mechanic doing the maintenance on this boat. Due to this, both outdrives had to be totally rebuilt with a new parts list too long to list in this posting. Lots of big expensive parts. I have all the service records that show dates and cost. The stereo system was installed wrong. I removed all the amplifiers and sub woofers that were all not marine grade. The actual stereo is a good quality marine grade, but not hooked up.

If I were to keep this boat I would have the boat professionally waxed or wet sanded. There is a great shine that comes out with a lot of elbow grease. The upholstery inside the cabin is a little dated. The cost would be very little to update.
