I bought this 24' Searay for $1000, but I didn't know that she had water in the transmission. I put a new battery in her and she ran pretty good but the transmission sounded weird. I anchored her out in the anchorage for a while and a few seals moved onboard and stunk her up. Soon after that I got the shop together and took her over there where I was able to flush out the transmission and get her into pretty good mechanical condition. Mike later came along and bought her for $2000 She is still in my shop and so far Mike is paying rent.
