I bought this boat new in February of 2008 so they fitted it with a 2008 Optimax motor. I am guessing it has 400-500 hours on the motor. This is a great multi-purpose boat. We used it for wakeboarding, tubing, and serious fishing. There is a chrome towbar above the motor. 
For fishing there is a live-well upfront and baitwell in back. There are 4 fishing chairs. I put a MinnKota Terrova 80lb thrust trolling motor with autopilot on it that works with a footpedal or handheld remote control. It has things like an anchor function that will keep the boat within 15' or so of where you pushed the button and all kinds of goodies. At the time I think it was around $2K. It is a 24V system and the 2 batteries are less than 2 seasons old and will be included. I also have a Hummingbird 995C with a GPS, side imaging, and a depth finder. I will include it but the last time I was out it was phasing in and out of the correct depth so I am thinking of the price as if it were not part of the deal (but you can have it). The problem may have been floating plants in the water or a setting. I didn't have time to mess with it. 
The bimini top is huge and in great shape. When you need shade it is the answer.
It has a Stereo with AUX-in so you can connect any phone that will play through earphones. I know these pictures aren't great: there's spilled coffee on the front that was cleaned up for example. As we stood on the dock the last time we used it we confirmed our decision to sell so just took these quick pictures. But the boat is great other than there are two obvious flaws. There is a scratch on the side of the boat that is thin but maybe 18" long from pulling up to a dock with a small bolt head that scratched it. There is also a seam separating in the top white part at the corner on the drivers side front seat. I got a quote to repair the seam this year for $200.00 but never got to it. The boat was never stored in water so the hull is unstained.I had the fuel filter, lower unit oil,and plugs changed in the spring. One turn of the key and it starts right up. The motor has never needed a repair and it runs great right now. You don't have to, but I always used premium gas as I believe it runs cleaner and is more stable.The boat is in dry storage near Lake Geneva in Wi and I live about 2 hours away but would be happy to show it to a serious shopper. Check the price- it is low on purpose. We had a condo up there we sold last year and thought we might still use the boat but it is not happening. We have used the boat just once this summer so it is clearly time to let someone else enjoy it who will use it more. 
As a bonus if you plan to use lakes in SE Wisconsin we will transfer our in and out service to you to use on Lake Delavan until 10/1 so you don't have to worry about storage. You call the Marina with 30 minutes lead time (with a few exceptions I can explain to wining bidder) and they drop it in and put it at the dock for you. You go out boating and tie it up at dock and they put it away. Alternatively if you want to trailer it somewhere they will just pull it out of the building and leave it on the trailer for you and put it away when you return. They have a clean restroom to use and trash bins, picnic tables etc. That was $1600 or so for the season.I have boat and trailer titles.
