Hello, I'm new here and looking at A 157 in Northport MI. I've put a deposit down and now need to qualify the boat. If anyone has any info on the boat please chime in. I've owned a few boats including an Ensign. The Ensign is why I'm looking at the Ariel. The size is right for what I would like to do. A 157 is supposed to have been on the Great Lakes area for the last 26 years and has also been owned by the same guy for that time. Those two things appeal to me and I hope the boat looks as good in person as in the photos. The interior does not have the hanging locker on starboard like most boats or the cabinet on port. Anybody ever see that type of set up? The icebox is gone and I'm assuming that the owner took it out because it does have the access hatch to where the ice box would be. The boat has been painted on the topsides (sides of hull) and the deck has been painted except for the blue part and I think that is the original gel coat. The broker is a real nice guy and is sending me dozens of photos. Another question, does anyone make a fiberglass replacement rudder? Thanks for input, Best Regards Craig
