    I saw this boat on Craigslist last week. His first ad only stated it needed "minor work." When I texted him to ask what work it needed, he replied that "only" stringers are soft and various other wood needed replaced.

    Mine had that "minor" problem a couple years ago. Took me eight months to fix

    I don't think stringers hold the platform. It's two plywood pads. Maybe get this boat cheap if stringers are ok. Easy to check. Bring a hammer to tap tap tap and a wrench to check the engine and tranny bolts.


    If it ain't broke, sell it.

    I'm kind of fond of the rope holding up the swim platform, I wish I had thought of that, then I wouldn't have had to repair mine, although I guess the rope kind of gets in the way of when you're putting on your ski

    Imagine trying to get into the water with your wakeboard on DOH!!! Actually you could almost drown!

    Minor work. That's when you pay your kids to replace th stringers, right?

    Lol, the ad has resurfaced. No mention of the stringers this time.
