Well, I went and looked at this ZT33.
All I can say is WOW WHAT A FRIKIN JOKE.
Let it be know right from the "get go" that this is one of the worst showings I have ever been involved with {and I have bought and sold quite a few boats in my day}.
As previously stated in the thread, this boat has not seen the water in 5 years.
However, this boat has not been shrink wrap covered for the last 5 years ---- it looks like the shrink wrap has been severly compromised for quite some time exposing the entire cockpit to the elements {looks like for a few years}.
I'll give a quick run down of what I found....
....I have NEVER seen so much embedded mold on ALL the cockpit upolstery... it was so bad that all the stitching everywhere was rotted.
....There were more cracks in the top deck than an Asian whore house, I mean there were major cracks everywhere.
....Broken windshield and top frame piece
....The micowave and refrig in the cabin were both sooo rusted and in such poor condition that almost assurdly neither would still work {even if they did work you wouldn't want to use them}
....Cabinet hardware broken / rusted / jammed
....Gauge lenses scratched and full of moisture
The horror goes on and on with the top deck....
Lets get to the hull and other stuff....
....The transom assemblies were soooo bad it was almost amuzing, bellows dry rotted / three of four drive pistons siezed / old bird nest in right drive.
....The electrical wires for the lenco tabs were broken / frayed / and rotted
....Three of the four exhaust tips had flappers sooo corroded that even a hammer couldn't open them --- the fourth exhaust tip had no flapper.
....The ladder off the platfom was broken and left a huge crack where the mounting holes are {were}.
....The hull had large verticle cracks on both sides where the checkered grafics are {this appears to be caused by severe buckling, probably from incorrect storing on jack stands {this leaves the boat WORTHLESS}
Couldn't even get the hatch open to look at the engines, {oh but the guy said there great}.
So, this guy is so lucky I didn't bitch slap him for being such an idiot {and for trying to treat me like an idiot and wasting my time}
I made an offer to him of $2500 ------ he looked at me real funny and said, "your kidding, your only gonna offer me $2500 for a $45000 boat"
I replied NO, I'm saying you'd need to give ME $2500 to haul it away to a junk yard.
This boat is absolutly worthless, the hull is sooo severly buckled it will never be good.
