I've seen that first boat down at Ocean Performance in Old Saybrook CT. While I haven't looked at it up close, it appears to be really clean, sharp too. If you're interested in it, give Chris at OP a call, I'm sure he can give you a lot more details about it. 860 388-6000.

Yeah, I don't know anything about the boat, but I'm sure Chris does, which is why I told him to call Chris. Obviously the owners contact info is in the CL ad itself...

Usually wet transom by exhaust cut outs due to their low locations, bottom of drive cut out. The factory never did a good job sealing the cut outs with resin, just paint. The bolsters are balsa core and are prone to rot on the bottom edges. The rear bench seat had unsealed nooks and crannies for water seepage. Especially in the area of the battery panel. The base sat on the floor which eventually water would wick into. The holding tank is aluminum....prone to rot on the bottom where it sits on a pad. The brackets are hard mounted on this tank to that pad and sometimes break due to stress. Rubber mounted to absorb shock would have been a good idea.

Do these boats have a solid fiberglass hull (no core)?
