This boat has been in my family since originally purchased new in 1985. It has been garage or shed [stored] its entire life. Originally stored and used in New Orleans when my father bought the boat and used it regularly. Transported and used in south Texas after Katrina, when it was passed on to me, and is now located in Dallas. While it holds sentimental value, this boat really needs to be in the saltwater and not sitting in a shed in Dallas.

A lake test was done in March 2023, and no problems were observed.

This boat has been well maintained. The hull exterior is in great condition with minimal damage, namely just some rub marks and light scratches.

The engine has been overhauled and maintained regularly, and the lower unit was serviced in 2022. The engine was recently inspected by a mechanic and assessed with a "clean bill of health."

The trailer has new wheels and tires, and the bearings were replaced and packed. The bunk boards were replaced in 2022.

Disclosures: small repairs of deep scratches near the bow on the hull have been made. Neither the GPS or SONAR work. There is a LORAN receiver, but I AM unsure of its working condition. There is a VHF radio. The auxiliary engine bracket needswork; a wood part is cracked. The auxiliary engine is not operational, as far as I know. The engine oil tank needs to be replaced.

The Obama administration declared in 2009 that the LORAN system was obsolete, and then spent more money blowing up the towers and facilities than it would have cost to continue to operate the system.
