493 hrs drum winch.
Tempted to drive down to Bairnsdale n check this out...

Only issues not sure it will fit in shed and should sell current boat first.
And 2 banger on back.
Seems pretty good price.

2 banger is direct injection. It's pretty much the v6 version cut in half. I'd be more worried about electrolysis in the hull than having an optimax on the back

Sometimes they r ask up to 24k for this year of boat at that size...
If had four stroke on it, it would couple of K I guess.

I had a look at this boat a while back. With the brief look that I had it looked to be in decent condition for it's age. I didn't go pulling up the carpet or anything but there was nothing glaringly wrong with it that I could seen. They had it listed for ~$24k for ages. Looks like they are interested in selling it now.

Looks very similar to my dads old 635 swordfish, is it just the cab size that's the difference?
