Shakespeare Sportsfisher 23 - info needed

Hi,

I'm new on here but I've been looking at the site for the past few weeks.

I was hoping that someone on here could supply me with info on a boat I am looking at buying. Its a 2005 Shakespeare Sportsfisher 23, that is whats on the graphics on the side of the boat anyways. It's got a 150 Johnson on the stern and all in all it is in fairly good nick. The build quality seems to be amazing and the fittings are top notch. I am assuming it is the same boat as the Shakespeare 650 I've seen mentioned on here. However I have been unable to get any detailed info on this model.

What I am looking for is any real world experience that people on here have had with them anything I should be looking out for etc.

Thanks in advance
YB

Johnson engines aren't the most reliable especially the vro pump . Parts can be a nightmare to source also .
