Pretty bare bones looking. Nonetheless,if I wasn't leaving for Hawaii next week or if it was a few hundred miles closer I would definitely talk a look at cure for the "Itis".

It does not look to bad. If the hull is in tact without major damage or gelcoat issues. Could be a good project. Trailer looks a bit iffy.  We had that vintage of Mercury on a starcraft. It was a hard starting Mutha.  :whistle: Once running it did fine.   :doh:

   RC;  Sorry to have to say this, but that won't do anything for your "illness".  That happens to be "your" hull under that cabin.

So, more cabin and less deck. No thanks! And thanks,Yat, for the heads up.

      RC;  Your welcome.  That boat your seeing in that ad is actually the very first Arima I ever physically set foot on. Basically, it's built on the Sea Hunter hull, and might possibly have been the precursor to Arima's philosophy around the "one-hull-two-boats" theme.  I must admit, it had a pretty nice cabin, but unfortunately, not enough room on deck to change your mind.  I keep thinking stretching the Explorer (as I suggest below) might be the answer for many of us.  That said, I realize such a modification would involve a considerable amount of cash outlay and would, no doubt, necessitate a close look at the potential market in order to insure a reasonable return for such an investment.  Still.....I view this upgrade in Arima's line as a "natural progression" that should be given serious consideration.

This has been brought up on a different thread as well with no definitive answer. What length and beam was the first SE? If under 15'11", what year did it change to 15'11"?

   Fisher;  If I'm not mistaken, I believe the Chaser and Explorer 7'-6" by 15'-11" hull came out in 93.  I'm sure Belinda could verify this.
