Yep, planning on compression check and a fairly thorough sea trial at the end of the week. Assume you just mean to back down on it and see how it behaves? Also hoping to line up an independent surveyor to evaluate the hull and restoration to the extent practicable. I'm likewise a big fan of the 130, it should be a good pairing for the intended use: equal parts flats and bottom fishing and day trips to all the local spots. Seller was asking 10K and we've moved down from there a fair bit, final price TBD. Its pricey for sure, but within the budget that we set for ourselves and (i believe) fair given the apparent condition, fitment, and workmanship.
