Where were these rigs when I had money burning a hole in my pocket. Very nice hull.

Apparently they were hiding half under water!

I hadn't even read the description of the boat or read Stizzla's comment and my first thought when I see this type of very low cut transom with no engine well is ' just an invitation for taking on water' . Also self bailing scupper drainage on that 18 looks too low ( floor should be few inches above water line) A colleague had a boat go down at dock due to very low cut transom and no well (stern) protection so as boat traffic waves and eventually river current came over and down down she went ....way too fast for pumps or inefficient cockpit drains. I'd never choose a boat with a low cut exposed transom and has a floor that is at waterline and uses scupper drainage. Surprised that looks to be a Northwest which do make superb boats
