The boat is clearly advertised as a project boat needing work. This boat should only be considered by someone who can do most of the work themselves. The boat has potential, but all systems should be checked for functions or replacement.
The engines run, but look like they are in dire need for some work.
The salon looks like a well worn charter boat with plenty of stories. The cabins are used for rough storage and should be gutted. The galley does not look functional except for storage.

Fish Catching Legend!!! Rigged for the big ones!!!
****SELLER IS MOTIVATED BRING OFFERS****
****LOCAL DELIVERY MAYBE POSSIBLE****
This sportfish has great potential for the next owner. The boat has fished the South Florida waters for decades and is in need of a new owner to get her back to her glory.
The seller is retiring from fishing, however, he has been taking a few trips a month with the boat in its current condition. There are certainly a lot of cosmetic issues and the port engine runs, but overheats, however, the fish do not seem to mind when you are bringing them on the deck.
The classic boat has massive outriggers, a huge on deck live well, a fighting chair, and heavy-duty rod holders. Feel free to climb to the top of the tower for the best spotting. The upper controls are not functional.
The boat was recently hauled out and bottom painted. The boat is currently insured for charters. Both engines fire right up and seem to run smoothly. The port engine will overheat after running for a while. The captain has been running on one engine and fires up the port engine for maneuvering. The captain has faith in the boat and may deliver locally.
The bridge is fully functional and has a VHF and sonar.
The exterior is still presentable, however the cabin could use a complete restoration. The engine compartment is in need of some cleaning and attention.
Reason for selling is no longer using.
