Don't know it but looks nice. Looks like they have updated the dash and cockpit and power looks reasonably reliable for not being mercury.

Maybe someone will chime in and know the boat personally.

The biggest issue is to make sure you can afford it. I would budget around 5% of the purchase price for annual repairs and maintenance and minor upgrades. I would also reserve 10-15% of the purchase price for major repairs that will happen atleast every 5 years. This is on a boat that is in good condition. If its below average condition its likely that you could spend in excess of 100% of the purchase price refurbishing it. Add on storage, fuel cost, and insurance. Some of these guys have totally diferent boating lifestyles. Sea-dated boats on a lake that never gets above 3-4ft swells. If your planning on boating in the great lakes and going out in rough water you will not have the same maintenance schedule.
