Safe trip Ron!

I need to give him a call to see what's going on. I want to look at him one more time, then we'll take a bunch of pix and put there here first. I'll PM anyone who's interested first. I do know he's going to want what we'd consider top dollar for the boat.

More pix to come in the spring when it comes out of storage (if he still wants to sell it)

Will do. I'll be helping him advertise it in the spring if I decide to pass. I'll be at the Grand Rapids boat show next month helping me decide

Owner has stored the boat away for the winter. I have until spring to decide whether to buy it or help him sell it. I don't know his price yet.

Any idea if the core/stringers/transom have been replaced?

Thanks for all the responses so far! It's off the lift and on the trailer now, I so can do some crawling around. Starting to get a little excited.

Posted some of this information in another unrelated post, but now it's decision time. I'm looking at a very well cared for '89 Vegas XT with '89 Merc 200 XRi, hydraulic jack, CLE gearcase, trim on wheel, foot throttle. First owner added bow tank and ski tripod. Boat looks like it's only a few years...

I have the wife's OK to buy it, but she's given me all these (really good) reasons why we shouldn't
