The seller states the boat is in good condition with no significant dings or scratches. Freshwater only and lake-ready. Cup holders throughout the vessel are brittle and falling apart. Also, the cup holder on the starboard aft side of the transom is missing. Forward seat cushions on the bow have pink staining from sunscreen. Vinyl cushions throughout the vessel are dirty and need cleaning/polish. Speaker grill covers throughout the vessel are brittle and oxidized.
During a recent inspection, the hull sides were dirty and needed buffing/wax. Several gouges and scratches were sighted on both sides of the vessel, specifically in the following areas: a) port-aft- 2" x 2" area of gouges, b) starboard-bow- 4" scratch at the waterline. Repair/clean all as needed and buff/wax hull sides for cosmetic purposes.
Bimini top fabric is dirty with mildew stains and is faded in places.
Engine oil appears milky and water-contaminated, indicating possible engine block crack or internal freeze damage, causing water to egress into the engine. Have a certified Mercruiser mechanic inspect, perform the leak-down test, find the source of water contamination, and make any necessary repairs. The owner advises that the oil has not been changed in five years. Because bellows are original and have not been replaced in five years, recommend servicing outdrive with fresh bellows. The starboard midships inboard stringer (accessible via ski locker centerline in the cockpit) has highly elevated moisture content (28%+), and water was observed to drip out when the screw was removed from the paddle mounting bracket.
