I just spent 12 hours last week driving to pick this up. It's by no means perfect, but it looks like a good starting point.
It was stored inside during the off-season, and lived on a boat lift during the warmer months. Several hatches are broken, and it needs a good cleaning, as well as some cleanup of old wires and some cosmetic work where it got chipped on the front and a bit of work underneath for scratches and the like.
The engine was apparently rebuilt using a new power head in 2011, and was given a new water pump and lower unit oil earlier this year.
The prior owner removed the external oiling and was using pre-mix. He also wasn't using the internal gas tank, so I'm pretty sure there is a problem there.
Having had aluminum boats in the 14' range until now, I'm pretty excited about the increased capacity and capability of this boat. I'm going to be spending some time going through it and finding all of the stuff I'm going to have to fix.
