The condition is as close to new as you could ever find in a used boat with very few imperfections.  This boats hull design gives you a smooth ride notoriously known for being the safest boat on the water. With her deep-vee hull, cuddy cabin and Boston Whaler’s “unsinkable” promise, this would make a fun and safe family power boat.   Check out the continuous wave Boston whaler website to find out more information   http://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/specifications.html   ______________________________________________________ More info on the WHALER BRACKET (a $4000 + option in 1988) http://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/engineBrackets.html Based on the Bracket design and flotation you could rig this boat with twins if you wanted.       MORE PICTURES TO FOLLOW   HIT THE LINK BELOW FOR OVER 100 ADDITIONAL PICTURES http://new.photos.yahoo.com/superdad_         _______________________________________________________ HOW RARE IS A TEMPTATION? - OUT OF OVER 100,000 BOATS FOR SALE ON BOAT TRADER ON LINE ONLY A HANDFULL ARE TEMPTATIONS (Enter Boston whaler AND keyword temptation to see the results) http://www.boattraderonline.com/adsearch/boatsearchprocess.html         TRAILER   The trailer shown in the pictures was just used to transport boat.
