I'm thinking of buying this boat. Anything I should check for or should I just get a marine survey?

It's an '83. Your probably looking at rot....Double check the floors and transom. Also, finding parts for that outdrive is gunna be tough!

Does it come in any other colors? Water at my dock is a little shallow. What is the draw?

I don't know, but does it come with a trailor that has breaks? It's not a tri-haul but it is a dubble haul.

The good thing is that it's "stealth" so hiding it from the wife shouldn't be a problem, lol

I was thinking if I bought it, when I put it back together I could add some fishing seats and rod holders down near the waterline. Maybe even a built in cooler and a trolling motor.

No lowball offers! Price goes up when war time comes!

Many of the craiglist ads I read feature boats that are scrap already, although the sellers may disagree.
