Here you go, very clean looking '94 with trailer, 7.4 with captains call and covers at LOTO for $15k. Don't let hours detour you, mine has 900+ and is like new.

I'd pass on this one as well. Also looks like kids will cut their toes on those cracks.

Thanks for advice, everyone. I will say salesman has been helpful and fair with me so far.

Talked to service manager. Fine spider cracks on chine are probably from impact. Wave or otherwise. Small spider cracks I didn't see on the underside of swim platform, which he said are common. Both cosmetic.
Big issue for me is the one on top of the swim platfrom. He believes it is from an air pocket under the gel coat. That's why it can be pushed one. He thinks it eventually broke through and spread from there. Eventually that spot of antiskid will break off.
Fiberglass repair in that area is expensive with the curves. It would never look right with the curves, matching existing gel coat, anti skid, etc..
Said there is a potential for additional air pockets in the area, also.

Luckily, this isn't my boat and not my problem to solve.

Walk, don't settle for less than you expect. If you do, you'll regret it and eventually replace the boat taking a loss. It took me 6 months to find the boat I wanted. It's out there, just keep looking.

Thanks for the links. All look good shape that I'll check into more. I'm getting my deposit back on the one. But after that boat, my standards are high on interior and exterior! Just no cracked transom!

BB's listing in Tulsa is the creme of the crop (in my opinion). If you can get him down a bit and stretch your budget a bit, you might be able to swing it? It looks well taken care of and low hours.

The Tulsa one looks great, but I may be biased. Assuming BB is using that cheese head humor on the interior? Should I just nod and smile?

Not sure what you mean? The interior looks brand new. Engine is spotless. Grand lake. It doesn't get any better.

I believe Akor is asking how you were able to see the interior of the Grand Lake boat as there are only exterior shots posted. 🤔

I like that Tulsa boat. Andy it might be possible for me to swing by and look at this one for you, depending on where it is on the lake?

BBP's online sarcasm is sometimes hard to pick up. He thinks he's funny. Others probably think he's odd! Be we loce him.

Interior pics are in the invisible boat thread. Come on!
