Thank you to everyone who posted posted the feedback is great. I went to look at the boat again last night and spoke to the owner. Hull looked good i di test out the transom by by lifting the motor and putting my weight on it, which was rock solid. I looked closely at the holes where the seats were and some look stripped out and the rubber grommet is missing. This concerned me as someone stated this gives access to water and can rot the stringers. Lastly but also a big deal i would assume the guy doesn’t have a title or registration for the boat. I live in Ohio which is where i am would be purchasing the boat. I did a little reading last night and it looks like a real job to obtain a title fro something like this. The guy stated he would write a bill of sale but i am not sure that will get me very far. If i understand it correctly the seller needs to obtain the registration and title and the sign it over to me to be legal.
