They were gray. I have this same boat. Does this have power trim? It Does
look pretty good. Note that it is a rivit boat though. When you take it
out
for a ride lift open the back hatch and make sure there is no water in the
bottom. Also dont just drive it for a short distance. Run it hard for
about 5 miles. I really like the one I have. The trailer isnt original.
$3000 isnt too much if is the boat your looking for.

It has power trim. The dealer just turned the engine over (no water) and it
sounded pretty strong. While the pictures make the boat look good, it is a
little rough. The plastic bumper guard on the outside of the boat is all cut
up, missing in sections, and in one spot has a small piece of duct tape
holding it on. I'm thinking, it takes some abuse to hack up a bumper guard
all the way around a boat. Also, all the switchs and throttle are fsded gray
and all the deck screws are rusted. This makes it obvious that it was stored
outside with no cover. Adding this up makes me think the trailer is a
replacement as it was in poor condition. The trailer is metal and would not
have held up as well as the aluminum boat (again, if not well maintained).

You know what I was really looking for (but did not fully realize it)...
people to tell me that I should not be offering more then the boat is worth.
I want to get rid of my old boat and buy a bigger boat. I've been busting my
butt for about 6 months now to be in a position where I can do this. I find
myself not wanting to pass up on any boat that comes my way and this one is
5 mins from my house. As everyone has mentioned, if the dealer is not
reasonable, I'll walk away.
