The boat seems in nice shape for what it is. Like most "Jersey Girl"s she seems a little sloppy but a good time.
The bottom looks good except the one spot and that is easily fixed. The decks are already fixed. I like teak decks but I'm in the minority here. The windows look surprisingly good. Window panes are easily and cheaply replaced.
The motor and trans don't have to be rebuilt. Ford Lehmans run forever and their transmissions are simple. Parts are available for everything and if it's frozen don't buy it. You'll find out on the sea trial.
The whole boat is simple. I don't understand the stripper pole but I'd need to see the flybridge in person to make any decision. After having been out in 7 footers I'd have appreciated something to hold on to. MTs of this size don't have a lot of interior hand holds.
The biggest expense would be renting a dumpster to get rid of all the junk inside. Sand the interior down and give it a coat of satin varnish. Power buff the topsides and she'll look like a starlet.
You can spend an extra 20 or 30 thousand for a newer and cleaner boat but most of the same problems will be there. You'll just be 20 to 30 thousand poorer.
Girls like this need to be seen in person. Their personality does not come through in pictures.
