That is a really good looking boat! I didn't see any pictures of the wiring other than of the area at the battery charger, but that certainly looks well done to me. I personally prefer the battery switches and the ACR's to be located closer to the batteries. There were no pictures of the battery area, or any from the stern openings at all, and you will need to examine all this carefully. Remember, if you are going to have problems with this boat, it will probably be with the things that are not easily seen. Someone has obviously taken great pains to make this boat look good for the sale, but the wiring behind that console and the plumbing and waste, fresh and hotwater tanks are not pictured yet. You absolutely must operate all the systems, and taste the water from the freshwater system while the boat is sitting in saltwater. There is a raw water system and a fresh water system, and it is possible to cross contaminate between them if they are not plumbed correctly. Just because something appears to be working does not mean that it actually is working.

The fuel lines and tanks are also not pictured yet. You need to examine that stern bilge and be wary of any fuel/oil smells you may encounter there. Don't be afraid to look at all the under-deck access points on that boat before you buy it. You could have many costs and regrets if you don't.

I agree with jvz on the relocation of those oil tanks, that certainly would not work for me, I have to back down on fish a lot in my type of fishing, and I do get that area of the Whaler Drive flooded with sea water at times.

I noticed from the pictures of the haul out that the bottom paint is nice, but it does not appear to cover all of the hull that will be sitting in the water at the dock. If you intend to keep that hull in the water year round, you will have to insure that all the hull that is in the water at the dock is covered.

I apologize for not responding to your email yet, I have been extremely busy and out of the country for a couple of weeks, it is very difficult for me in some of the areas I travel to use the internet.

I also note that the kicker bracket that is currently on that boat is rusting and staining the Whaler Drive. I would certainly replace or refurbish that immediately, if I were going to use a kicker at all on this boat.
