I went and looked at the Arima and gave a review on it a bit back in the thread. Rides crooked and no functional trim tabs. Unkown hours on engine, kicker not integrated into fuel system, unknown if the riggers work or not.Fundamentally, if you find an Arima with reliable power, you can hardly go wrong. Even a cosmetically rough hull will be pretty much bullet proof. This seller claims that there is no wood - this is not true - that year has wood in the transom, however, it is not much of a worry as it is not structural.
Asking price of this particular boat seems a bit high to me.
