1200 miles to go get it. (really sucks)
I probably could have got it for cheaper, the guy was excited when I said I would give him $5000. I am sure the transome is solid but time will tell. These old evinrudes usually run forever. Even at 5k I still have room for a repower if worse comes to worse. The guy is getting the carbs rebuilt this weekend.
He seems to be really honest and he has 100% feedback.
Around here(Virginia Beach) that boat would sell for around $10K. I sold my 1988 Wellcraft 23' CC for $6700 with a sea drive.
I really wanted another 23' CC but I love my 20' dullie so a 23 is nothing but better. The dullie is great for fishing and easy on the family at the same time. You can set your anchor very easily by your self, it has space and seating for the family, and it fishes like a CC.
