Hi,
Just found this site a couple days ago. Great forum!!
My wife and I are looking to sell my 16' 1991 lund rebel to upgrade to something more comfortable for cruising around.
I've had this boat between my dad and i for about 15 years. In the last 6 or so years, i've noticed the metal cap that runs along the transom is cracking where the motor is bolted. Both sides. One all the way thru, the other is almost all the way.
I've had it into shops a couple times, inquired about the integrity of the transom and everyone has said that its nothing to worry about. There is very little load on that part. I havent seen any other cracks on the transom and I have never had any safety concerns.
What do you guys think?
My main concern is how to explain this to someone who would potentially be buying this boat and try to put their mind at ease regarding the safety of it.
Any suggestions?
Also, NADA puts the value from $2250 to $2500. 91 Johnson 40hp (rebuilt 7yrs ago), aftermarket tilt/trim, trailer, all in great shape. Think i'll be able to get $2,000 for it?
