I’m a mechanical engineer and 61 years old. I maintain my equipment carefully. When we purchased this boat in 2011 I was amazed at the quality of workmanship and attention to code and quality. I have replaced the fuel pumps and evaporator in the engine in 2018. We have used the boat exclusively on the Hudson River in New York and have not taken the boat into the Erie Canal or out to the ocean. The previous owner was located in southern CT and did take the boat out onto the coast. He only put about 40 hours on the Evinrude motor. The boat has been delightful for us. We have kept it docked in a slip in summers and stored in its own shed during the winter. The trailer is included in the price. The kicker motor is not included in the sale.

I have photos of the exterior and interior at this Google Drive folder:

DavidM, WOW, that looks like a beautiful package at a compelling price. I am curious what are the hours on the engine are? You stated that the original owner had about 40 hours on when you purchased, and then it looks like you only put an additional 40 hours. Is that right? That would make for a really low hour boat.

Best in your sale efforts. Someone is going to get a very nice package.

This sounds like a very good buy for someone! I was a fairly close friend of Arild Jensen, and if he did the re-wire--it was done right. The trailer is good model, Sounds if the boat has had some very nice and very serious upgrades!

Harvey, the engine does have more than 80 hours total. The total is not a lot as we used the boat on the odd weekend for rides up and down the Hudson River. I’m embarrassed I don’t know if I can pull the number of hours from the E-TEC ECU. I will work to figure this out. Dave
 
Dave, I would think the hours would show up easily on the engine tachometer guage. Maybe not. Thanks. I'm pretty sure a prospective buyer is going to be interested in those numbers.
