Hi guys, just want to see what you all think about a possible purchase.
The hull is 22'8 1986 Renken center console. It has a raised deck in the bow area with two storage units. The console used to have speakers but it looks like there is raw glass there now. Two more storage units on the floor of the stern. There were some very soft spots on the deck right before the bow near both gunwales? New stainless 80gal. fuel tank.
The engine is a rebuilt 1993 Johnson 225 outboard. He said new pistions, tie rods, and bearings. Too much HP for the hull? It is mounted on a dusky type platform to the transom. The steering ram is not connected and the head was off but he said that he will hook everything up before I get it, if I get it. There was no battery, he said he would jump it from his truck for me. The temp/tachometer gauges werent hooked up. No running lights. He has a prop but it wasnt on. No bilge pump.
As I am typing this I am realizing Im probably not gonna get this but let me tell you what I like about it.
Very deep gunwales, maybe mid thigh high. Very wide beam and open stern area for fishing. And the price, $2600
Def. gonna need some TLC the question is how much and is it worth it
