About the boat...
Wasmy project boat until I discovered the transom was in need of replacing.
I turned this boat from a side console sitter, to an open bow center console.
Comes complete with motor controls, steering cables and mounting assembly. I alsowill includea 15" stainless steering wheel I puchased. The control needs a new neutral safety switch although it isnot needed to run the motor.
Extras

I spent roughly 80 hours working on this boat. I built a center console wrapped it in fiberglass and resin. I put a new floor in as well. The boat needs a little bit of fiberglass work to finish. The main thing however is the transom that needs to be replaced.
Hull is solid with no cracks. It needs a coupletiny holes I prepped filled with the resin I will provide. This boat although capable of ocean waves is best suited for freshwater use. The hull is not very deep.
There is probably some extras I'm including that I have forgotten about, if I remember I will include them.
all in all to provide you piece of mind about purchasing this boat I can assure you thatthe price I have set is well worth it. The motor and controls alone could fetch that price. Besides the broken light on the trailer which we can fix before you drive off with the boat, the trailer is in good solid shape. With all the extras included such as the battery, steering cables, linkages and mounting brackets. I am attempting to disclose everything I am aware of with the boat so that there are no surprises when you arrive to view it.
To give you an idea of how fast this boat is expected to be pushed with the 70hp motor is roughly 40 miles per hour. I will gladly demo the motor upon purchase. I will also throw in the motor muffs so that you may run it off of your garden hose.
bid with confidence, as my reputation on ebay is solid and I wish to keep it so!
