I am on the fence about this boat, I went and looked at it yesterday and she does not show her years AT ALL!!!!!!!! this boat from what I could physically see with my eyes was in great shape, the motor cranked up on the first turn. It could use an update in electronics and some other odds and ends but in no way shape or form is this a "fixer upper" Everything on the deck was solid, I picked the boat apart for over an hour looking at everything. I am not a surveyor but I have been around commercial and pleasure boats for 15 years give or take and I have an idea of warning signs and I truly did not see one!!!
Keith and his son are very, very nice people, I just met them for the first time yesterday, and as soon as I check out one more boat I will choose which one I am getting.
If I don't buy the boat someone else needs to, because this thing is in a lot nicer condition than boats a quarter of its age, and it appears that Keith has taken really, really good care of this boat.

Hey Thanks Jonathan I appreciate that. Like I told you when you were here, I just dont use the boat like I used to but she is a very solid hull.
Yeah no worries, I call it like I see it, and you have a very nice boat. I am still boat less I have not made the jump as of yet, but I may be close. My phone is trashed it went for a swim and I am waiting for my replacement, sorry I did not call you about last Thursday.
I am having a survey done on a boat tomorrow and if that does not check out I will complete my shopping at your house.
Jon

What does she weigh? Any pics of the cabin? What year is the motor?
You got me on the weight, I know she's a heavy hull. I'd have to call Dusky to see what she weights.
I had the engine put in around 1997 but I've changed oil within every 50 hrs. Now she has 680 hrs.
1980 25.6 Dusky Inboard 
What kind of numbers does this boat run
