I've come across a 1969 (#3A0522) that appears to have been a bare hull originaly and then it was outfitted by Eagle Marine in Minnesota with a metal and wood side console. It has a non-BW rear bench seat. It has a blue interior in very good shape and except for a couple of small dings and a torn rub well the exterior gel coat is also very good.There are three pedestal seat bases, one next two the side console and two side by side ahead of the console. There is a mohogany cover over the bow locker. There is also a drain basin with mesh over it on the centerline twords the front of the floor and then another open one with a drain plug tword the stern. They are asking $3,750 with a Yamaha 70 ETLD (He didn't know the year but motor says-Code 6H3 L and SN 475676)and a Sparton roller trailer. Does this sound like a deal worth persueing?

A roller trailer could mean some trouble with delamination on the bottom. BW strongly advises against the use of rollers on trailers except for keel rollers. Check the bottom of the boat, make sure there is no dimpling of the bottom above where the rollers contact the hull.
