pully Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 The boat is in fair shape and the engine needs a new powerhead at minimum. I bought this boat off the forum a few years back and should have done my research better. It looks like a boat hull that slapped up against the dock in a storm and did damage on one side. I fished it for a year before the dreaded stringer issue became to bad and I started what i thought would be a quick repair. Short version is we remove the console , cut out the lower deck and inside the seat compartment. WE removed all the stringers , gas tank and wiring. So the good is new wiring ,gas tank, and stringers. And I had the trailer axles, springs and tires redone about 4 months ago. The bad is outside of boat still looks rough and the engine is smoked. Anybody that would like to know more can email me with their number and I'll call them to answer questions. I got hosed with this boat so i'll be very honest with any questions. I will finish with it is a fishing machine when it ran and I have caught lots of fish out of it. They are without question one of the most stable fishing platforms there is and the ride is excellant. nativesonslivingthedream@gmail.com $17,000.00maverick pictures.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to hear what happened to you, bud. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whichwaysup Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Well, as a guy who bought a boat and had to re-buy it (cost wise) to fix it, I hope you end up as happy with your 2nd attempt as I am! Seems like you deserve it, and thats a great boat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
