Project boat. Rough. Needs work. Priced to sell in 2023. Could be dock, barge; with new motor and rehab, could be nice pontoon boat.No working motor, no trailer. Needs overhaul or replacement with new/used motor. Power trim I believe but not fuel injected. One picture is current 2023. Other pics are out of water in prior year(s).Must tow with from water to public ramp: no shore access to boat. Must borrow or have trailer: no trailer with sale.1998 Sweetwater SW180ES 18 foot float boat Pontoon Boat.ID#: GDY1215CH798It floats! Seems structurally sound.

Will sell motor or watercraft separately with high offer.No trailer. I know two guys with trailers who will move for a fee / miles/ hours. I know of two Ohio marinas that rent 20 pontoon trailers for 8 hrs - 1 day for about $300.This is a project for someone. Temporary dock available. Compare to new 2023 Sweetwaters: $35-55K plus tax, watercraft and outboard motor. Compare to used 1990s/2000s Sweetwaters, at 7,000-17,000 plus tax, with better, used motors.Price above is paid to seller. Can meet at bank for safe transfer of cash vs seller notarized boat title and motor title.No mailed cashier checks or scams. Call or text with questions.Only serious inquiries. Dont call and flake out.You then will also owe watercraft/motor sales tax to Ohio when you present the titles with a small Ohio title fee.Seats have some tears. Leaf debris (outside), dirt, and insects. Good project for winter, an investment, and by next Spring might have much more valuable boat.
