any better pics of the Dance floor 

[Trout-N-About]

Hi Matt,

Sorry,  don't have a picture of the deck itself.  

 

[Decoy Hound]

Is that the correct gross tonnage?

[Trout-N-About]

Yes, that is the correct tonnage.

[wrinklestar]

Any additional pics would be great.   Or perhaps a recent survey?

[sherman brown]

pictures of the interior would be great. it's just too hard to judge a 14,000.00 boat from pictures of the outside only. but it sounds great and the asking price isn't way off base for a boat like yours. what is her top speed at wot and what RPMs,s are you turning at WOT? 

[chowder]

The price is about right if it’s ok. This guy has Not answered calls or texts so..

Don't have any interior pics at this time. We are waiting for the weather to break before we expose the boat to the elements. Will be happy to provide pics at that time. 

 

All other details,  please give Jason a call  at 585.615.6504
