1999 Triple-Axle Trailer

- If you can’t handle purple, this ain’t your trailer, but I prefer durability in a trailer

Miscellaneous

- Top ends on engines in 2013 by Brad Smith in Jopin, MO
- Engine ECM’s tuned in 2013 by Brad Smith – otherwise bone stock
- Engine cover sun pad from Checkmate is two years old
- Purple on rear seat recovered
- Bolsters are stock, so some purple fade is apparent in comparison
- Stringer engine-mount hole rot discovered in 2012 – fixed right by Vincent - - Custom Paint in 2012
- Drive service in Summer 2015 by The Bravo Shop at LOTO
- I have all receipts since 2008

I’m selling this boat to go up in size. Shopping for a 33’ Powerplay.
Call me a sentimental idiot, but this boat has exceeded my expectations and I hope to find a buyer that takes good care of her. This is why I'm advertising here first.

I will add pics soon.

Thanks for reading.
