Saw this boat on FB and couldn't resist. Went to see it, and it was not pretty, but in very solid condition. Not soft or dented up, just needing sanding, paint and some rigging. Here are some pics:
As you can see, it's in need cosmetically. The Yamaya 55 HP has 150# compression on both cylinders, and fires right up, but doesn't have power trim. This boat is rated for a 125 hp motor, so I'm considering putting a 70 or a 90 on the back. Here is the spec sheet:
A crabber owned the boat previously, and he removed the big center console and added a small side console. Also, they put a solid deck over the U-shaped front platform, both of which I think were good choices. Tons of room in this boat, although the camera angle doesn't show it.
Does anyone here have experience with this boat? I haven't water tested it yet, but I really like what I see so far.
