there are some decent donzis on ebay. the criterion needs some better photos. for the love of the sport, why can't people put a decent photo on ebay. do they really think it will sell w/ a bad photo? rule 1: presentation, presentation, presentation!!!!!!!!!!

Several things wrong 1)restored, 2) 6.2 it came with a 7.4 3) it has a Bravoi and it came with a TRS 4)new paint. 5) picture? I would not touch this.

I'd certainly love to see some better pictures of this boat. The listing is awful. I'm interested in such a boat, but perhaps I should be dissuaded from it, reading the last post.

What do you think this boat should be worth?

Why does the restoration and new paint scare you?

Would this boat be underpowered with the smaller engine?

If there's dodgy workmanship in the restoration, would a full marine survey turn this up? I'd almost definitely require that before buying any boat... but I don't know if they'd catch some of the harder to spot hull repair problems.

i emailed the seller and asked for better pics. i got an email back with a name and phone number. i didn't call. forget about it.

things to think about

1 why was it restored?? to update or to repair??
why restore a very rare boat and not try to go original.
2. why a smaller engine and a bravo?? the trs is a stout drive and again original?? upgrade or repair???
3. why no clear photos??? need a camera upgrade or a fuzzy repair??
a good surveyor will be able to tell
