Default Anyone familiar with Advantage bowrider?

Thanks!

"several soft spots in the deck" + "I know little about fiberglass
powerboats" = Run, don't walk, away from that boat at any price.


I had just about come to that conclusion myself, as when I made a list
of stuff that the boat needed I decided that the owner would have to
pay me a couple of grand to haul it off. And I am sure I missed some
stuff.

I don't doubt that I could do the refit/overhaul, as I am a good
general mechanic (cars, tractors and the occasional airplane and of
course my old sailboat) and have done some 'glass work (not boats, a
solar powered racing car and it was kevelar and epoxy rather than glass
and polyester resin). But there would have been far too many hours and
dollars involved.

A little looking has turned up much nicer boats for similar asking
prices.

Thanks for the reply!
