Yeah 17.7 feet is close enough to 5,4m and it's got a flooding hull. I think that's a leisure version but I'm not sure that it could not have been trfurbished. with other stuff

looks clean

Depends on the actual age of that engine-think it's a fair bit older than '95.It's more like 1980s from the colour (DHD will know),the condition of it when you see it and how well the consoles are fitted. I'd say up to 3750 from the description-but that'd be an upper limit depending on the description being 100% accurate and it isn't.

No point in paying over the odds for something if you're going to refit it-you might as well just buy a bare boat.

That would date back to the '80s. Later boats were called 'SR5.4' on the plate.
Ask him for the serial number if you want to know the exact age. It's on an aluminium plate on the outside of the transom and also on a patch glued to the underside of the bow toob (inside the boat).
