My mate is thinking of buying this huge ass cat i have told him to walk away from it due to the electrolysis whats your thoughts? Price is unbelievable for that size craft

Too big for me, my mate has a new bt50 would the bt even tow this thing?

I would be lacing up the running shoes....if you can see corrosion holes, where you can't see will be a thousand times worse (in my opinion)

Looks like a real ripsnorter..

Few tubes of JB weld or Sika and a couple of cans of bunnings spraypaint and she would be as good as new...;)

15k on the water , would even build a new ally trailer in that figure
I’d weld in a fake floor and use the holes at the front of the hull as a flooded keel

Bit o' Spakfilla, chuck a wrap on it, sell it for triple your money back. Easy.

Jokes. I wouldn't even look at it given the photos.

Jeezuz christ--I've worked with and owned large aluminium hulls for a long time, and I've never seen electolysis as bad as that. Left permanently moored with no hull anodes? Painted with copper-based antifouling? Wired up using the hull as earth return? Parked at a wharf with bad electrics?

What are the outboards worth? That is the only value in the boat.


Trailer wheels look ok, but hard to tell from this distance.
