I thought the same thing when I bought the boat. It sounded to good to be true. The boat is exactly what is advertised and the motor may have 5 hours on it if that. I broke it in and went on vacation with it otherwise it has been in a closed in shed with a cover on it. The only reason I am selling it is it is a little smaller than I want(I need to go on a diet). If I am fortunate enough to sell it I will move into a 20 footer and will probably be a Bass Cat. Any help selling it would be greatly appreciated.
