179 -
Thnaks for your response.
Hydra-sports calls it a skiff, but by that they mean that the inner liner isn't as solid (and thus the boat isn't as rugged or heavy) as your Scout or other higher-end boat. It's a true deep-vee hull, transom deadrise is 19 degrees, and it's not very tippy at all. I actually did a charter trip on this model once, and we rode from Groton, CT to Montauk, and it was a very dry, stable ride.
The whole rig (hull, Johnson 175, galvanized trailer) is 1998, and it has seen very little use (hour meter says 150 hours). The person who bought it spared no expense in terms of adding bells and whistles, but never used it. He's wealthy enough where he just wants to get rid of it. I think I can get it for $12,000, which is not a bad price for a rig that will be a lot more comfortable than my 19-footer.
