Nice!

20-30 year old boat with an Alpha drive and im assuming a smaller motor (whale tail).

8500 seems like a good deal. Surprised it’s not at 12-15k

In the ad it says 65-70 all day I am waiting to hear back what motor it is all I am going to say with one person and fuel maybe 60 more like 55 full loaded cruise at 45 all day

from the lack of care that it shows, I'm sure the price reflects that.... Wouldn't be surprised if the drive/motor is showing precursors for a failure.

Typically you’re not running a high five for top end.

I think the Alpha gear ratio is 1.65 to 1. So 65-70 would require a 25 pitch

Still might be a real good deal but 65-70 all day is a little much lol

Zoom in and its rough. Tape on the steering wheel, Skag cover, carpet edges peeling, interior is weathered. Looks like the Romoland or Nuevo area. Doesn't seem like a bad deal as long as everything works correctly. Won't win trophies but still gets you on the water for under $10k

Exactly my point we have a baby coming in December perfect boat just to get the family out this summer and enjoy some lake time and do some mods in the winter

Double check that HIN, the rear of the deck where the deck meets the hullsides don't look like an Ultra. At least not anything they built from 97 and on......

Don't look like any ultra i owned, had a few in the 90's, 350/alpha combo 56 all day long, 60 if your speedo is off.
