"Roca" OK, never had a boat with wipers

Cruiser I had was a convertible with only the one helm on the bridge

Never anything fancy or real expensive

I'll check on the wipers, Thanks

Gave my last heavy boat

231 Mako to the kids

Never expected to buy another

So looking for something that we'll keep

Don't want to skimp on anything

Because I have enough to work on already

Promised the little dory I have now to my youngest

It'll be perfect for her

Was just looking outside at it and
remembered I need to replace a trailer roller

Always something

But...

C Dorys hold their value. The 24 K sounds like a very good price for a 2003 boat.

I'm $23,000 into my 1986 angler but that's with a BRAND NEW 2019 Honda 90 installed with hydro steer and new lowrance hds7 live. 23k is a good deal for that boat assuming the motor has a built of life left in it. Does the boat come with any kind of camper top?

Supposedly only 179 hours

And don't believe there's any canvas

Had heck of a blow yesterday so sea trial today ought to show the boat's true colors

Never been on one of these boats

All the boats of this size plus a bit have been ocean goers and extremely heavy. But that's not what I want these days

I'll let y'all know my thoughts when I get back this afternoon

Exactly what I figured

Got down there and the motor would hardly run

Old fuel

Gave them a list of items I want looked at before my coming back down next week

Including inspecting the oil in the foot

On a good note

Hull looks great...

and there's already wipers and trim tabs
that I didn't see in the pics Very Happy

Was wondering what the dark item was in this pic

It's a mildewed sump

Where does it go?

And there's already a small sump for the pump

Again, has anyone put a washdown

On the rear deck? And I know you have

Also,

Has anyone put a hydraulic jack-plate on their boat?

Got to sell my small cat

And thinking I might take the jack off of it prior

Nice idling in the shallows with the motor vertical in lieu of tilted

My '99 has a second sump pump there (in the cabin) that pumps out through the starboard side. My thought is that this sump is used to collect water that gets into the cockpit (rain or otherwise) and drains forward, depending on how the boat is trimmed. It also obviously gets rid of any water in the cabin that drains to the rear. Personally I think it's a great idea having two sump pumps in different but strategic locations.

Some boats had the bilge sump pump at the forward end of the cockpit, where water pools when the boat is sitting level in the water. This may be one of these boats. If so, you want to check that the aft main cabin bulkhead is sealed above this pump. If not done--then something for you do do. Many boats with the bilge pump in the rear, just forward of the transom drain, also had the "drain" out of the cabin, where it is located in this boat. This was commented on at the first of this thread.

The boat looks very clean in the photo you posted.

I don't know of anyone who has put a jack plate on the 22's. I have run both the 22's and 25's in less than 18" of water, by tilting the motor up--it works very well, since you don't really want to go fast in these conditions.

Yes, both the 22's, 25's and 255 TC have wash down--both fresh and raw water. When you put a thru hull in the bottom of the boat, be sure and epoxy the rim of of the cut out. You do this both to seal the hull core, and to give a ring to compress the nut on the thru hull. Also some boats have a bait will, with pick up. Some pickups for both bait tank and wash down have been over the transom types to avoid thru hulls.

On this site (and mentioned in this thread) there are many threads about these engines having carburetors which have to be drained if not used regularly. (we drained if not used within a month). Rebuild of the carbs should be on that check list. The "old fuel" should be drained and new fuel put in the tanks (both). You need to have them drain the oil in your presence. It only takes a few minutes to drain and replace. That way you are sure what is going on.

I would have been concerned that the boat was not ready for sea trials, especially if there was a long drive involved. Be sure that your check list is taken care of before you return. One of the reasons I tend to be Leary of dealers.

Thanks for the comments guys

Have to figure out what bulkhead you're talking about Bob
Need to spend some more time inspecting

Sump looks to be as it was designed to drain out across the rear deck when
boat's on a plane.

No bilge so they had to figure out some way to get it out

I'll look at all the previous threads to try and learn as much as I can

Certainly do appreciate all your help
