The biggest issue with out getting too in depth is in the states most boats are only built to be used how they use them. On days that only ave small one foot chop. You do get quality offshore rigs i agree but they are still very expensive and often don't make our shores. The boat that was put up as a "Contrary to my post" was to be far at best a $150 000 unit. Not your average trailer boat.
the only issue we have had is the **** verado's . Sooner we get rid of them the better .
Bloody loud alarms/buzzers though
haha ns . Start the boat up in the pen and everyone at the yacht club looks at you

All cylinder are 125 psi x 4 and 2 are 120 Psi compression according to last inspection 2 weeks ago,
<5% difference in compression is better than most new engines.

Both really good boats BUT you do need to work out what size your after. Honestly i can promise you will get some benefit to calling or even better to drop in. Once we get more of an idea on what else you want to do i could then suggest a few more models.
watch out for rot in any haines in either the transom or the floor. costly repair. get any purchase checked. Any boat over 10 years old that hasn't been stored undercover is at risk.
^^^ what he said - although I picked up a bargain years ago (Volero - great hull shape imo!) that had rot in the floor so no-one would touch it. The fibreglassing was still good. As a chippy, I was easily able to cut the floor up, replace the stringers, subfloor timbers & cut new plywood to size, then got a fibreglasser to glass all the members and glass them in. The result was an 'as-new' boat at a very low cost...and although it was a big job, I enjoyed it.

thanks mate i'll deeply concern about that also my neighbor uncle help me to check these things ....

Great looking boat. Single axle will make it okay ish for beach launching. (depending on what beach)
Okay size for heading to Rotto and if your happy on deck space for three guys should be good.
I totally agree that anything you buy you should get it checked out by a professional.
