nice find, did you read the add? At first it says it needs tabs and that the motors and drives have been serviced and it runs 73. Then when you click on next pic it says it needs drives and tabs and motor work asap. I like the price though.

There's threads on that boat....It's BEAT! Left in the salt water for long periods of time. Basically needs everything from the water line down and most likely motors rebuilt. The interior is shot too.

Didn't that used to be a Havasu boat with BIG power at one time?

Looking at the pics blown up and close, appears to be all surface corrosion on the drives. But, my experience with salt boats moored in the water, engines half junk most likely.

Yup,I would say anything metal would be junk and I would think that any wood also. Its a shame but I might have to walk on that one even for alot less money. Why do people do this chit:(

I was thinking the same thing.

What a shame, if you're not going to use the boat at least shrink wrap it and store it somewhere...but to let it sit in salt water :confused:

Looking at the pics up close, enlarged, with a magnifyer, that is probably less than a couple of months buildup at the very most. The wood etc. would not be affected any more than any other water issue in my opinion. The engine insides would be my main concern, were they ever flushed with fresh?
