I just saw this boat on Ebay and thought I'd post it. Looks like a pretty descent boat for someone looking for a used inboard for little $$$$$.

I would be care on something like that, really not knowing how many hours on it, but if all is true sounds like it has been well taken care of.

True...the hours are kinda scary. But it sounds like it has been well taken care of. Exterior looks good. And for the price its at now, I'm not sure you can find too many better inboards. Of course you can get better looking/newer I/O's, but then we get into the I/O - Inboard discussion again. Smile

I just thought I'd post it here in case anyone was looking for an older inboard. I'm not trying to promote this particular boat or anything. Just giving you guys something to look at while the lake is still frozen!

By the way....I don't think the interior is that bad for being the original interior in a 1987 boat. Not my choice of colors, but for being 16 years old I think its descent.

...also, the NADA price for that boat/trailer looks to be about 6400.00.

i wouldn't care about the hours myself aslong as it run strong i would have to drive it before i bought it . but think of that boat with anew paint sceme on it. it would be a very cool boat for a few $$$$$$ but the closed bow would kill it for me

If you buy it, you'll want to add a tower, or a "flite pipe" pylon. The traditional extended poles which fit over ski pylons won't fit on that one unless you do some hack saw work.

Unless you have a long garage, that trailer/boat unit probably won't fit. Our boat trailer has a swing-away tongue- - -absolutely necessary to get the garage door closed.

Lastly, you may wish to switch to a four blade prop for a little more torque.
