    1988 Gambler

    I am entertaining the notion of looking at a 1988 Gambler and was hoping that you all could enlighten me on a few things:
    Did the 88 Gamblers have the double hull?
    Are there any particular issues that I should look closely at in regards to a 23 year old boat, specific to Gambler?
    This boat has a 200 Rude on it. Well before FICHT, any issues with these and anything in particular to worry about?

    I read the Heritage post and it was very informative.

    Thanks in advance

    Model is stated as a 2000LS. $5k. Looks ok in pics, but there's always concern with a 23 yo boat.

    Seen that before somewhere. What did you decide to do on it?

    No decision yet. Just gathering info. We'll see what shakes out over the next few weeks.
