I purchased the boat from a family in Newton, MA in July of 1990.I am not positive but I believe they were the 2nd owners. (I still have their name + #) I have owned the boat since then. The boat has been used exclusively in Cape Cod bay + north to Plymouth. Used for fishing + family (in the 90's) activities. A slip in the Sandwich Marina @ the east end of the Cape Cod Canal is it's summer home. It's currently there but shrunk wrapped + out of water.
The hull is all original. I have done nothing to it structurally including the transom. Do not believe the previous owner(s)did either. I see nothing unusual,(ie cracks,sagging,holes) or out of the ordinary but welcome informed opinions/comments.
When I bought the trailer I relied on my mechanics expertise + he located it. (used) It's actually in good to very good shape. It has no rollers + is what I call a "float on". Padded supports for the length of the hull. Since I planned on never leaving the Marina with the boat + trailer I did not due any detailed inspections/research for over the road use. It is strucurally sound,no rot + serves my purposes extremely well.
Hope I addressed your questions. Feel free to call or respond here.
Thanks for your interest
