Those Ribsides are very cool hulls.....,even if you purchased the boat for $6000 you will still be putting quite a bit more $ into it.

The boat needs some love - You'll know when you see it person, your call if you have, and want to put the time and & money into it...if you must have a Ribside then haggle with the guy and get to work ; )

Maybe keep your eyes open for another that's ready to go -Life is short,get you and your family on the water this summer...sound like you have a great place to create some Whaler memories..
