We purchased this towards the end of last summer off classifieds board but had trouble with the trailer title and never were able to take it out on the water. We were looking for a reasonably priced pontoon boat last year but could not find one and found this instead. Here is what I know about the boat. Purchased from a farmer in Tennessee. He said he purchased it new and him and his son were the only people who used/owned it. Was always stored in their barn when not in use. -Filled out the wrong paperwork for the trailer. In Tennessee you don't have to tag a boat trailer so this trailer had never been registered. I filled out the paperwork as Magic Tilt homemade trailer and the problems getting the title for the trailer began because of this. -The upholstery is original and has chipping of the outer material but no major splits, we were just going to throw towels over it since it has some discoloration and wear from the past 30+ years of use. When I rub my hand hard across a spot for a while the material will start flaking up. 1 panel and one backrest are loose and could be glued back on with a good adhesive or repair with some of the plastic retainer screws and a small piece of plywood.-Floors are solid solid with no weak spots. I'm upwards of 275Lbs and could not find any spots that "give" when I walked on it. -Up high on the passenger bow is a dime size nick in the gelcoat the rest looks great Normal keel wear from beaching Overall the finish is pretty good for a boat this age no major blemishes from docking or running into stuff in the water. The previous owners always trailered it to the lake for the day and brought it back home never keeping it long term in the water.-The motor started up and ran and we went thru the gears when I purchased it last year. Since I couldn't get a tilte to the trailer we gave up on taking it out last year. Plans were to mess around with it this year but a neighbor put up for sale a pontoon boat we could afford and we purchased it two weeks ago instead. Now this one has to go we don't have room to keep it where we are moving at the end of this month.-The lower unit is in great shape and has the whale tale to help get on a plane quickly. Trim up/down does work but will leak off from the up position after about 3 hours.-The double axle trailer is more than this needs but is nice to have in case of a blowout or bad bearing. All four tires have very few miles on them-even the one not attached. I towed it 240 miles from Tennessee last year on the one good driver side tire at 65mph with no problem. It had a bad race/bearing on the front axle when I bought it and when I had trouble getting the trailer title we put the entire boat project and any minor repairs on hold since we didn't have the money to purchase a trailer at that time.-I have the paperwork I received from the previous owner selling it to me and will write out a bill of sale from myself to you as well since there are no boat titles issued n Georgia.-Pickup within 14 days of winning auction bid
