It it would have been red blue.or black I would have brought it home. Transom eye rings seemed really loose. May have had some rot there also. Still looking. I emailed the guy with the boat with the lifter tick. Told him it was a long way to go and how much negotion is there in price but he didn'tget back with me.

Spider cracks equal rotten stringers from my experience...pain in the but to fix too. Walk on.

Man, I wish that boat was closer to home. My wife would kill me if I drove to Arkansas to buy a boat. If floor and stringers were good, and he would meet halfway, that would be a different story.

i saw it last week and thought about posting it under your thread but knew the distance might be a issue. i am pretty sure there are some members here on our board that could go and inspect it for you to give you a good idea of it's condition stringer wise.

Would have been a nice boat but it is sold. I checked on it a few weeks ago. Still on the prowl...

Fingers crossed....I just put a deposit down to hold a 77 until I can look at it on Sunday.

Bought the 77 last night! It has been sitting in the weather for the last two years, so it needs a bath. Hull is in the best shape of all the ones I looked at, only two minor gel coat dings below water line and and a small area on both gunnels with some minor spider cracking. Bottom of the hull is in awesome shape for a 35 year old boat. Floor is needed and most likely stringers, but I'm OK with that and knew it going in. Hope to at least fire her up by the weekend. Going to clean her out and give her a bath today. I hope to post some "clean" pictures tonight. I know it is a long shot but how hard will it be to find a right fender? Left is almost perfect, but a blow out in the past tore the right fender to shreds.

Is it really a "Master Raft".
