Description
Ready to use next season. Boat was used this past season with no issues. Will do 62mph (260 hp V-8); rides very stable and comfortable through rough seas with 24-degree dead rise, deep-V hull.
The good:
-New Engine (Mercruiser 5.0 MPI) and Sterndrive (Alpha) in 2009
-All new wiring and SmartCraft gauges in 2009
-New steering and trim pump in 2009
-Interior vinyl, seats and carpet replaced in 2011
-New engine box in 2011
-New steering cable in 2017
-Rear Deck replaced in 2022
-Trim Tabs
-Stainless Steel Prop
-Never lived in the water, no bottom paint
-New full boat cover in 2023
The bad:
-Paint is very faded
-Lights and horn do not work (battery lights come with the boat)
2008 Galvanized ShoreLand'r roller trailer included with spare tire. Very capable of long trips; no rust on the trailer.
Boat lived on Lake Michigan with its first owner from 1977-2007. I brought the boat in 2007 and it lived on Cape Cod until 2020, when I brought it down to Virginia. Boat has always been kept inside or under a full cover its entire life. All manuals and original brochure included.
