Not at that price. Dent as big as a b-ball on the Bow could mean handeling problem. Looks like owner wants to push his problems on to a newer owner.Boat looks nice but wonder why he did not post the dent??????????? Really nice trailer and a bunch of equipment . I would pay no more than half of the asking price. Mabey after a look at it first. IMHO

Price too high. "Reinforced floor" means band-aid over rotted floor. Underpowered. $1500-$2k maybe.

Thanks for all the quick replies, My plan, was to swap motors with my current boat and put my 01' 75hp Merc on this boat. The dent worries me since I will now have plenty power to move. As far as the floor goes, its seems im in the right place if I need to replace in the future. Thanks for any more info.... I will go and see it tommorow.

Having a bent Keel is about as bad as a wandering rudder. Be carefull looking and get a photo of the keel if you don't buy it or if you do .
