I will arrange for the surveys next week and finalize the deal (hopefully)
by the end of the week. ;-)


Looks decent enough.

That sure looks like a flat bottom, with some "negative deadrise" just
inside the innermost strakes or chines. Should plane very well, but you
aren't planning to do a lot of rough water boating, I assume?

What's with the big splotch of yellow paint at the sheer line, port
side, near the forward quarter cleat? Just something in the computer
imaging, an unfinished repair, or a kid with a spray can?

If it meets your needs (most important consideration) and if it surveys
well, congrats. :-)

Had the same question, but figured he smudged out the old registration number.
Be interesting if that wasn't the reason!

Nice looking boat. I didn't like the carpet on the floors though.
