    So, as mentioned in an earlier post, I have a shot at buying an 82 Tarpon 19..all there minus the O/B. Best tips on checking on transom and stringer issues. Does it matter that the boat is in hot/dry AZ?? thanks in advance for your guidance Mike

    The boat was originally from NJ...but is now in AZ...we do get rain...summer monsoons and winter stuff, but the summer stuff is always followed by triple digit temps. The seller is asking $1000 or best offer. Ill find out how long its been in the dry heat.The finish is chalky from the sun, etc...

Bimini top...and strong general cleanup, modern gauges, gps and contura switches....Nice 40mph cruiser for Baja w/ a 200hr 14ohp...
