I was hoping these new posts were the OP responding back about the test drive and inspection (after we so nicely gave him a lot of great info)

Yep that where my money is at. Hopefully that's not the case but.... It's the old boy meets craigslist, meets boat, meets "a couple of soft spots in floor" story. Original guy sells boat (or gives it away) on craigslist as a fixer upper. Next guy slaps some carpet down and sells it under the fog of "runs great". It goes through a couple trades, couple flips, paperwork gets lost, sits outside for a few winters.....

you guys missed the OP's post #37 where he traded for the boat, then flipped the boat for $2k cash. I would consider this thread now dead

Sorry boys!
the boat was decent. the wood wasnt at all rotted, i went around the side pounding it with my fist and it seemed alright. the interior wasnt all that great(ripped seats but not too big). engine compartment was very clean, i didnt do a test drive but i did hear it run and it sounded great.
