grab a drysuit ad your board and take a few sets.

if it checks out mechanically it looks like a good deal. motivated seller, maybe you can get him down a little bit.

^^^This.
Sounds like he's ready to sell.

And those seats will cost more than $300 to fix. At least here in Nashville they would. My guy I go to would probably charge about $125 per main square cushion, and it cost me $200 to have the rear hatch done. Other than the rear seats, if that boat checks out mechanically and electronically, it looks to be a great boat.

Yep. Check it out. Run it through its paces. Negotiate the price and buy it! I don't think you will regret it.

Looks like they cut the partitions out of the rear bench to be able to fit the ballast bag. I'd just double check to make sure the bench is structurally sound. My boat has three separate compartments underneath each seat base. Other than that, some upholstery work and she is good to go. Or throw a towel over it and nobody even notices!

If you snag this for a decent price, I would personally switch from a three piece rear bench to a single solid rear bench like I did. I like it much better than the original three piece design and it is easier to clean up and dry at the end of the day.

How did you do that? Did you make your own? Pics of it with cushion on and off?

I imagine it wouldn't be hard. Take the three to a good vinyl person and say, make this into one base and one cushion, and cover with no breaks in the stitching. You could still get the same piping and trim, it would just be one big honking rear seat. I like the three-way split so if someone is sitting, all they have to do is slide over to access underneath them.

Here is what my rear bench looks like now after I had the upholstery redone two years ago.

That is something I don't have to worry about with the comp though, I guess if I wanted to store a napkin or one paper towel under my rear bench I could but that would be about it.

:D :D True, but I used to keep my docking ropes and ski lines under there. That's about it.
