Well, it's time. Our dock was washed away by hurricane Mathew and removed my boat a week before and stored it in my warehouse before it happened. It will be many months before the docks are replaced so it just doesn't make sense to keep her on a trailer. My Cobia has always been kept on my lift and raised out of the water after every use. I always hosed her down to rinse any salt water. I only used my boat for cursing with my kids in the river, never out in the ocean. The bottom has anti fouling paint that was applied in 2016. I purchased the boat from my neighbor who is a retired army Colonel and this was his baby. Every item documented and every item in ship shape condition. Talk about meticulous. In 2015/16 $1500 was spent chasing down a bad temp sensor in the Yamaha and during that exploration many parts were replaced making the outboard very up to date and well serviced! All fluids, spark plugs and hoses are new. The engine runs very well. It is 2 stroke and 130hp. In 2016 I had a Freedom T top installed with a 1.5" stainless steel tower and LED Brite Nite spreader light with 5 SS rod holders. ($2500) All new upholstery on all the seats ($500) and a new steering knuckle and cables installed ($400). The boat steers with me finger and is very accurate. In 2016 I purchased a brand new Lorance depth/fish finder. It has a very Garmin GPS and ship to shore radio. No music radio is installed but the box and marine speakers are there. Comes with: 2 - PFD'sFire extinguisher PaddleRemovable bow cushions (not pictured)Live wellElectronics2 AnchorsMatching ropesNew stern light 2001 21' ROLLS -52 aluminum Pro trailer will be included in the current BUY IT NOW price. This is a very nice and quite expensive trailer when new. It's been used maybe 4 times since nice I don't like trailering boats. I replaced both tires 3 months ago when I had to pull my boat out in prep for hurricane Mathew. If you don't need a trailer hen I'll sell separately for $1500 In closing this is a very nice center console boat. We are not a fishing family. We love to cruise the Cape and just go claming in the bays. We always kept it clean and never has it broke down on us. Runs very well, according to my GPS it cruises comfortably at 40mph. Everything works and is just an easy boat to enjoy There are some bumps on the rub rail, one chip as well. The Yamaha mph gauge is a bit hard to read from age. I was going to replace that but didn't. It $200 on eBay and a pop out pop in plug n play repair. One snap has come off on one front cushion. I can't think of anything else. I'm a fastidious owner of all things and try hard to keep my possessions in the best condition possible. Clean title in hand, registration good through 2018, it's sitting on the trailer so I'm willing to deliver up to 100 miles for $3/mi loaded. I feel strongly it's worth 12,500 because I know boats and I know this one but it's only worth the highest bid
