Not trying to throw you off bro,but I would never buy a boat from florida. Corrosion is a huge issue,everyone I know that bought one from florida had problems. To answer your question a 1/2 ton will pull it no problem,expect to loose some speed on bridges and overpasses.

A bay boat in florida never been in saltwater.....that is amazing. Roll with it then if it checks out,the lts 24 is a sweet riding boat. 19k is a steal if everything is sound.

Hey Ryan, is it difficult to wire a boat like this? He only has an 80# thrust trolling motor and I know I will have to upgrade that. Also, can you take a 6ft power pole and place an 8ft in its place?

Should not be a problem,tritons rigging tube is big and easy to run wires. The 8 ft power pole bracket is the same as the 6ft. Not sure if the pump is the same,but they don't sell them alone anyways.

Montauk is right. Really doesn't matter if it's been "in" saltwater or not. If it has been exposed to it for any great lengths...that's all it takes. That crap down there is like battery acid.

I completely agree and need to ask him if it has any signs of corrosion. He did say he kept the boat inside when not in use. I would really like to purchase it, but 16 hours is a long ways to come back with nothing

I feel your pain, man, and wish you luck. Pics won't really do you much good because, alot of times, the corrosion won't show up until much later. A dude that I know bought a used boat in excellent shape from a guy in south Texas 6-8 years ago. A couple years later everything metal on the boat was showing corrosion. It's probably not that bad in Florida, tho. Good luck.
