Can I please get some thoughts on this boat which is priced at $6500. What do the pods do for a boat like this? Do they help with getting on plane?

Wow.....never seen that before.... interesting storage....acting like a fixed trim tab also....hmmmmm

tsgarvey

Only found one other on youtube when doing research for this boat...

If I’m not mistaken those are the original live well boxes. Not many of those survive.

Looks well taken care of. Bring something to wrap on the transom, check the deck for soft spots and ask if the fuel tank is original.


An original fuel tank on that boat would likely be suspect.

tsgarvey

Will do... says has been updated but not sure what that means yet.

I thought on some hulls those were designed to help lessen the draft by having floating area behind the motor? I could be mistaken though check for any soft spots in the deck and transom.

tsgarvey

Alright... thank you

This boat is not tooooo heavy but I would make sure the hull has not been damaged by sitting on those rollers all these years. Personally, I am not a fan of roller trailers.

tsgarvey

Thanks...

What are those? Live wells? Interesting

Looks in decent shape for its age. Make sure there are no soft spots in the deck or hull itself. See if you can access the gas tank - should be some sort of inspection plate in the console above the tank. If you smell gas, not good. As for the boxes on the outer transom, they certainly look like live wells since they extend below the water line. Also looks like port side came loose (recently caulked) which makes sense given its location. Push up and down on those boxes and make sure they are secure. Take the boat on a water test to make sure it handles properly. Not crazy about that setup - water is heavy and if those boxes hold a lot of it, it will create a lot of drag in the water. I imagine the boat would be sluggish with those 2 boxes full.

Gas tank is right infront of leaning post. It has access. Those bucket thigs still confuse me though. Not sure why they would be mounted out back. That caulk job is crap. Maybe just a confused boater, lol.

williamwallus

Boat def looks nice.

tsgarvey

Thanks... I seen that with the caulk. I saw it on the only other one I could find like it also.

tsgarvey

Do you all think the ask is fair for it's age... If everything checks out?

williamwallus

Compression check motor if you plan to keep it on there. Those live well box things kind of scare me. I would def ask about them. Looks like the rest is in good shape.

If all checks out 6.5k is good.

Jim Beam

Hard to find anything decent for less than 5k. What's the story with the engine? Looks like a yammi 4 stroke, which is good. What year and hp? Those boxes should be easy to remove if you decide this boat is for you.

williamwallus

Yeah, doesn't look like any rust on there. Kinda what I based my judgement on. You know prly know better than me. I sunk a aquasport that fell off a lift and sold it for 3k. seems like a good deal if it runs

tsgarvey

2005 90... If not removed.. perhaps find a way to seal the boxes?

usernamewastaken

I’m pretty sure they are live well boxes. They are lag bolted to the transom and can be removed. The 75 19-6 I have was missing the boxes, but the lags were left there to fill the holes. I’ll see if I can find the literature for that model.
