That is odd. Other than that and some discolored wood on both port and starboard of the engine on the rear bulkhead, it looks pretty sweet.
A documented boat, no state reg numbers.
Pictures can be decieving and they could have been taken some time ago but a nice looking boat. _________________ Brad Leslie

No its got numbers on the hull.
I think its about $250 to get it documented. If I was in costal waters I would do it, but I am not.... _________________ Brad Leslie

Yeah, documentation is so much more appealing. Gets rid of that Bass Boat numbers feel. I actually looked into it but know the First 235 would seriously be pushing it... A buddy told me it could probably slide by the five net ton rule. I hate those swine numbers but that's the least of my worries at the moment.
As for the TX 285, that IS a nice sample. The lack of table sure does open up the interior but I imagine you would miss it (a wide angle lense is such a boon for boat sale). I'm betting he still has it. He needs a bit more text in his description.

definitely. i do like the look but a table in a civilized boat is essential. as is the wine storage.
but a table for a party of two off to the port side would rock. an open stroll to the v-berth would be pretty cool and the visual appeal is also there. _________________ Mike Hayden
