Interior and mechanical bits. This 1997 was purchased new by its original owner in June 1999. Evidently it spent some extra time at the dealer before finding its first home. The first owner didn't use it a lot. When he put it for sale in July 2005, she only had 13 hours on the meter when I first sea trialed her on Lake Michigan. As of September 2007, the hour meter shows a respectable 75 hours. Pretty soon Big Red will be a high-hour boat.
I have had little trouble thus far except that the speedometer quit working this summer. The trailer has been more trouble, needing a rebuild on the drum brake system. I am also looking at a re-wire because the trailer light wires are rotting out and short circuiting. I hope to have these things fixed this fall. I normally run a 21P Vengeance SS prop. The photos show my four-bladed aluminum spare.
