Not the same Boat after all....The one on B&O has a single 175 D only 200 odd hoursf...and IMO is an even Better Bargain.

Not so sure. Its pretty basic looking in person. Been there a while though so maybe an offer of 12k would be considered ?

IIRMC this has been on before. I have aRC and mine does not sit as high as this one. Look at the stern end it's clear of the water stability issues maybe. Just my opinion.

Prob worth it, but I wouldn't. Underpowered and he doesn't say the engne age.

It'd be better as a bare hull.

Yes he does. 2001/2 Ficht with 1300 hours, which is more than you'd want to be buying that kind of motor with

Nice Hull Wrong Lump:nono:
Same as Nos says...Makes the 6.8 (On B&o) look even better value I'd say. You could soon move a DF 175 with 250 hrs...and then upgrade to something more ...without breaking the bank
