Aging Electronics: Being a 2000 model, original onboard electronics may be outdated and could require upgrades to modern navigation and fish-finding systems.
Weight and Draft: The solid construction and equipment can result in a heavier boat with a deeper draft, which might limit access to very shallow waters.
