Kestrel Take
A hugely popular value center console — Sea Hunt packs a lot of fishability, features, and a solid ride into a well-priced package, which is why they sell so well and hold value reasonably. The outboard's hours and health, salt-use corrosion, and electronics are the inspection. A documented, well-flushed Ultra 235 is a lot of capable center console for the money; verify the outboard service and salt history.
