Re: Soon to be New Boater with questions

Nice rig, congrats

Looks to be in great shape, except for that skeg. I wonder how that damage happened? Seems to be a case of reversing into something maybe a rock?

That anchor storage on the bow will be very convenient for you when needed, and I'll bet she's fun to drive with that big V8

Welcome to iboats!

The Skeg was damaged due to a fisherman leaving something floating just under the water that was pulled in to the Prop. He had to change the prop & asked about skeg damage but was told not a big deal I may just get it fixed. I did read quite a few post that said it really isn't a big deal.

Also yes it drives AWESOME IMO not really all that sure how fast she can go though. We plan on cleaning all interior & buffing out the Hull & Trailer soon. Since we are in the cleaning business not a big deal.

There is an anchor but no rope


UPDATE!

We did pickup our boat yesterday & everything looks good so far accept the wiring on the trailer has some issues so I have decided to rewire the whole trailer instead of patch the wiring & change all lights out to LEDs while I am at it.

Also I have noticed the Dash Instrument lights don't work so I will need to do some Diag. Previous owner never was out at night so don't think he even noticed them out.


Thanks for all the advice & warm welcome we look forward to learning about boating & someday helping others.

LOL Thanks for all the support with our new boating venture.

So far so good there isn't that many things broke & my neighbor told me he thought it was a new boat it looked so good.

My list of issues is as follows:

1. Dash Lights not working
2. A few scrapes here & there on hull
3. Minor Skeg Damage
4. "Trailer Surge" Brake MC was very low on fluid.
5. Might need a new winch Strap just to be safe.
6. Both Captains chairs have small spot where a seem is slightly separating in lower lumbar area.
7. One speaker in stereo is broken.
8. Pull Strap for Bow cooler is in need of repair.
9. Carpet needs cleaning badly along with all interior.
10. Exterior needs a good cleaning & buffing.
11. Trailer wiring needs replaced just to make things easier to fix.
12. Steering wheel has hair line cracks in one side.

So far this is a complete list & IMO for the age is very minor issues.

4. Brake MC was very low on fluid.

Holy crap, you got the model with brakes?!! I didn't even know they were available on that model! I'm sure you meant trim fluid or power steering fluid.

I'm guessing trailer brakes, for the surge coupler.
