We test ran the engine today and it starts, idles, and runs perfect. The outdrive shifts in and out of gear smoothly and the trim/tilt operates well. The engine oil is clean and the oil pressure hangs around 40 lbs at a 900 rpm idle.The engine has power steering and steerseasily. The engine model is a 357 Alpha 4v which is a 275 hp factory Mercruiser drop in re-power replacement engine. Its a 5.8 liter that is based fromGM's 5.7 liter. These are very good running engines with a great reputation. The engine was manufactured in 2009/10 but not installed until 2011. Most if not all the dash gauges operate other than the trim gauge. The hour meter reads around 461 hours which is original to the boat but far less on the new engine. The engine hours are guessed to be less than 125 hours since it was installed. The horn, nav lights, some cockpit lights, bilge blower and bilge pump all work. The cabin has interior lights which all work with the exception of one bulb being out. We did not try the fresh water system as wedid not see a switch to energize the water pressure.The boat has a single Interstate battery that needs to be charged but looks newer. The bilge is fairly clean and the engine looks new still.

The gel coat is in good shape and holds a good shine. There is no previous damage that we noticed and nothing more than age appropriate scratches and dings. The boat was just washed, waxed and bottom painted for the season. The cockpit interior has a few rips that are highlighted in the pictures below the ad. The lower side coaming trim panels are rotted and need replacement. The decks are all solid and its nice that it has a molded factory fiberglass cockpit and not carpet. You could install a snap in carpet if desired which would be way nicer than full carpeting. The cabin is clean but there are no v-berth cushions. The headliner is falling in areas but is in good shape and could be easily glued back up. Overall its a nice looking boat that has a ton of life left with the newer engine.

The trailer is not included in the auction but is available for $1400.00 additional It is a 2005 model that hasa clear title and is in good shape. It has no brakes as it came from a state that did not require them. The pictures are current and the boat is being sold as is in the condition shown.
