Nothing wrong with them as a brand. They're not necessarily a high end boat, but they do fine. A '93 with reworked floors I would be very careful when looking at. Most people who re-do the deck, don't do a thorough job.

Condition is the most important thing in used boats. There's a good checklist HERE.

Welcome aboard.

The thing that’s concerns me is he said the floor had soft spots and he replaced them with pressure treated plywood and rubber coated them my concern is the stringers usually if the floor is rotted I’ve been told more then likely the stringers are as well. It doesn’t look like a bad boat but he’s asking $4500 for it.

Unless the guy has pictures of the rebuild showing he redid the transom and stringers, I suggest you pass

He'd have to show me some pretty quality work to convince me that boat is worth $4,500.

Lol I’m glad I’m not the only one that that thinks that . I don’t think it’s worth $4500 either not being able to see the condition of the stringers I got burnt on a boat couple months back I lost a lot of money on I’m being extremely cautious on the next one!
