Advice Needed: 5m Savage Electra

[tan the fisherman]

Gday Raiders,

I am thinking of buying a 5m Savage Electra with 85hp Johnson Powershift II 1973 and wanted to know if any raiders know of this boat/hull or the motor and if there is any advice that can be given?

Also can anyone recommend anyone in western sydney who can repaint it?

Thanks alot for any help!

Real Nice Boat But How Much Is He Asking For It ???? Also You Might Want To Get That Motor Checked Out, Notting Worst Then Buying A New Boat only To Find Out The Motor Is Gonna Play Up !! Also Make Sure The Transom Is Not Soft ,

Good Luck

Gday Cut Loose - thanks for the reply.

The motor has just been serviced, however I will be having the motor checked by a reputable boat dealer and valued site sponsor- Huey!

Will be checking for transom rot - the bloke says there are 2 soft spots on the floor - may need replacing.

He is asking $5k

That Seems Fair Enough .. Its All Up To You ... Go For It

Also That Price Might Be Negotiable, So Try And Knock Him Down A Few Hundred Dollars
