Rustycoke Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Those that own or have owned one what issues have you had? Looking at possible purchase and wanted to factor in known issues for future spending. I understand it's a boat and there could be unseen underlying issue.

JarredC Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 I bought one about a year ago and haven’t looked back, there have been no major issues. Its older so you have the wear and tear things to deal with. Mine has a Yamaha 225 with about 1k hours on it. It sat on a boat lift uncovered for most of its life. With that said most of what I have done has been cosmetic and I haven’t owned it very long. To date this is what I have done: General engine run through ie maintenance (everything recommended in the manual). New shifter w/ both cables New fuel filter and lines New battery charger Powder coated the poling plat form Installed an audio system Replaced one of the live well pumps New fish finder/chart plotter combo Replaced nav lights Replaced random hardware in around the boat (a few screws in the rod holders and in the rod lockers) Spent a weekend wet sanding and buffing the hull. The only haul type issue we had was one of the hatch lids had a soft spot in it. We pulled the one screw out that connects a strap to the lid, let it dry out and filled-injected resin into it. It seems to be fine. The boat has been great to us, maybe I got lucky but I think if you look it over good you will know if it’s had a hard life. We have camped on ours for ten days going from Key Largo to the Marquesas, if you give yourself the time and whether holds up there is a lot you can do in a 21! Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
