Durham, NC - 1989 Striper 15' w/ 1990 Johnson 60

I am the third owner of this boat, the first 2 used it very little and it has spent most of its life in a garage. I have also
stored it in a garage during my 2 years of ownership, though I use it regularly. The boat is in excellent 'garage queen'
condition overall with very little weathering, and is ready to put in the water and go without a worry. I have clean titles
in hand for boat and trailer, with NC registration. Yes, it's been in saltwater a handful of times, and of course always
washed down and flushed afterwards.
The engine has been running flawlessly and I would not hesitate to take it anywhere. In the time I have owned it I have replaced some aging electronic and fuel system parts along with routine maintenance and tune-up, and resolved some minor annoying issues along with properly prop-ing it with help from Continuouswave members.
It has a few scuffs on the rub rail and minor blemishes here and there, but they are few. The only thing on the entire boat that doesn't function as it should is the motor's trim guage sending unit, it does not work. I have not replaced it because I just adjust the trim by feel.

Boat Equipment:
-Original pedestal seats and cooler seat in excellent, unweathered condition.
-Original Johnson trolling motor in good working condition. New steering cable spring '10.
-Original Mills bimini top in excellent condition.

-Humminbird Matrix '97 chartplotter/fishfinder combo.
-KeelGuard installed '10
-External fuel/water separator
-all required safety equipment except for Pfds (I am keeping mine to use on our kayaks). If you have none
I can throw in a couple of the orange 'around the neck' type that at least meet the safety regulations.
