Do you know the year? Hows the bottom look? Any fiberglass showing, ie: no paint to cover it? Any cracks were the seats mount to the hull? Any cracks up by the bow storage? How about the stern...if ran with a motor. Any cracks/splinters? How about the paint...is it all there or is it scrached or rub off in many places? Any Anchor brackets or anchors with it? Are the oars in good shape and what are they? Aslo the trailer...is it a rusty ***. Or is it painted or galvanised? The floor of the boat...is it painted or??? Is it a flex bottom (fexes over rocks and what not) or a solid no flex? Has the boat been used or is it a garge queen? What year is the 6 horse? All things to consider..

I am no expert on boats but have spent many a hours looking at them and working on them. Fiber glass Drift boats mainly, use to own one that I was always maintaing. Send a pm if you like.
