Please look over it and consider buying now, or making an offer!The auction winner never contacted us or paid, so you have another chance to own this beautiful boat!If you messaged us about the previous listing, please accept my apologies for an out-of-control spam filter. I'll be checking it daily for the duration of this auction!There's nothing like being in one of these mahogany boats on the water! It's luxury!This is a beautiful boat that has been in our family for almost 40 years and was handled with care. This boat was bought to be enjoyed, and we sure did that the last time we had her in the water!In 1998 extensive engine and electrical work was performed on the boat, including carburetor kit, rotor, fuel pump, new battery, head gasket, intake valves, wire set, valve cover gasket, etc. At that time she was soaked and the marina reported that she "soaked up very nice"; with minimal leakage that was easily handled by the bilge pump. This is not to be construed as a warranty, just a statement of the condition in 1998.We had her out in the water in 1998, then the marina prepped the engine for storage. Since then she has been stored in our garage.The 1998 work was performed by Sayre Brothers Marine in Buckeye Lake, Ohio.This boat is definitely not in show condition, but is in significantly better condition than most boats we've seen listed as "Project Boats."
