Looks like a T38 IE2.

T38’s have two rows of seat fixings so would hazard it’s a T32.

Difficult to tell though.

I was going off the width. Assuming 450mm slabs it would make it roughly 1800 wide approx the width of a T38.

Not a good idea to start a dry outboard!

Still reckon it’s a T32. The additional pics in the ad make me even more convinced as the transom and floor tabs viewed from the rear are narrower than a T38.

That's the one. Blokes not a great communicator. No idea on age of boat or engine or service history. Probably fed up with marketplace scammers

It's a T32. Apart from it just having a single seat mount position of the T32 compared to the two seats of the T38 the T38 has the grab rope attached in 6 places, this has just the 5 attachments of the T32.

gtflash I'm sure you know how to vet something you're considering buying but a dismissive vauge set of answers can obscure a lot of sins... and starting dry it even for just a few seconds is a bit of a red flag. Those Mariner 15s are great motors though.

It's also been listed for for 25 weeks. Something isn't right there, think I'd be steering clear.

I'm guessing you are seeking two seats as in a SIB with enough length for two seats to work. If you needed to add a seat though it's really easy and not too costly if you DIY glue on the fixings and make the actual seat from ply. Once I reached a certain age I added a second seat to the Aerotec for helm posn and it's worked out really well.
