About a month ago it was listed at $149,000, when I called it was already pending.
Now it's back up for $139,000.
Would anyone know what went wrong?

Re: Does anyone know the scoop on this 53 in Onekama, Mi Was pending. Back for sale?/
It has been on the market for a while (since Aug). I also would like to know what happened as I was looking at it. Do they sometimes post that sale is pending to generate interest? Does it indicate that sale fell thru?
Thanks

Not a bad looking boat. Price is very low which tells me high engine hours, generator issues and or core issues. None of which were listed on the sale sheet.

That boat has been at Frankfort Municipal marina for years. It always looked nice but like it was never used or maintained. I doubt that it would not pass survey. It was probably some other reason that it didn't sell. It needs some work, but it has been freshwater for years and is probably in better shape than most.

Talked to the listing agent.
One motor has what is suspected to be a blown head gasket....
So the deal fell apart. They were quoted 20k to pull the motor and fix. Sounds like only about 5 k away from a full rebuild.
Any thoughts on cost to replace a head gasket if that is truly all that is wrong with it?
Thanks for the feedback!

On an 8v71, I doubt its a head gasket. Just figure on a complete rebuild when you make your offer.
