Rich, I saw this one in the spring, (JUNK). This boat was a commercial Bait boat in the Keys. It has many thru holes for the large live wells it had on the decks. It also had a large hole in the hull Aft where they ran into something, 8” X 24”. She said it was a delamination NOT! She should pay someone to come haul the thing off.

Rich,

I also inquired about the boat and received a large number of photos - it is really rough cosmetic shape - and I mean, stuff which would be almost impossible to remove without a lot of very very hard work(i.e it looked like the deck and the top of the gunwale was painted grey with some form of non-skid like walnut shells or something else. it was not done in a "colonial" way if you know what I mean and would take forever to sand out, fill the holes, fair etc.

There were also a number of areas where is appeared glass work has been done and it was rough from what i could see - all the stuff I am mentioning really just reflect the use of the boat - a commercial bait boat as mentioned in the previous post. There is probably nothing wrong with the boat except for the gash in the hull which can be repaired.
