Broker's Comments
"Paycheck" is a low hour diesel powered boat that is bargain priced to reflect her cosmetic condition. The exterior needs a good compound and wax. The flybridge upholstery needs to be replaced. With a previous owner, this boat suffered some vandalism damage to the interior and the electronics were stolen. The interior damage to the salon was to soft goods and has mostly been repaired and items replaced. The artwork mural panels were produced and installed to conceal tears to the vinyl bulkheads. Salon headliner was replaced and the settee upholstery was replaced. Previous electronics were dated and have not been replaced except for a VHF radio which is on the flybridge.
