Water leaks?

[JRT]

Just looking for fun, but this price point jumped out to me until I saw the dark stains on the wood lining the hull. They look like the are all at the fastener so I assume in this case there was water leaking behind from the toe rails or stations.

I liked the look of the 350 and the lighter wood inside was a thumbs up from the wife!

Something strikes. me as fishy about that boat.
Says its a freshwater boat moved to Galveston in March of this year.
Then a whole bunch of new stuff added. I would ask why.
Did it sink? Is it being mis-represented and is actually a hurricane damaged boat?
Could be there is a legitimate reason for it, but I am skeptical.

I'm with Doug. Some of the dark spots seem to be centered around screwheads so maybe it's just a condensation thing, but combined with all of the other recent work I'm not optimistic.

Thanks for feedback. The other wood looks much better.

It says volvo engine. Find out what model and do research. Some of the older models you should look carefully at. I have the D2 model and it was maintained well.

This price plus all the “new gear” is raises questions. A new engine is approximately 10-15 K installed. The electronics is 2-3K. There there is the statement “Systems not working” and “Bilge pump failure”. The bilge pump failure leads me to guess a sinking with water intrusion.

This could be a great steal or a project boat. If you go for it go in eyes wide open. The pictures are sure pretty.

Good catch for sure, it says under contract, so a no go for us. My only issue is that the draft is listed as 2 different depths, which the deeper one could be a challenge on our lake so I'd have to have the shallow
