I got with the company and Monday Im going to pay the $150.00 fee and become a bidding member and see if I
can win the boat. I just want some parts from it. But the first
thing they are going to get me is how many days it has been in the storage lot. They told me on the phone friday its $25.00 a day plus all the towing fees paper work.It could get into a lot of red tape and a lot of extra money after the auction ends. I would like to know before getting into a bidding war
but who knows. I asked them if it was ok to drive up and view the boat and they said sure anytime. The hull doesnt look bad at all to me.

Over on the other site,,, Griff has posted that he looked at the boat and there were some problems. If you are after the boxes and exhaust, that is were some of the problems were. If you go there be sure to get pics and keep us posted.

I never actually looked at the boat in person. Just my observations from the description, location and pics.

Nothing major that I knew of wrong with it. The pics never made it look very good. The transom always had rust stains and the dry exhaust looked to have dulled the powdercoating on the boxes and drives.

It was a salt water boat for much of its life. 525SC's were at 360hrs and were going to need some attention soon. 525SC intakes don't like salt and if the exhaust is original, then that would need replaced soon as well.

I should add that I also did not really want anything that needed high octane fuel. The 525sc's are great engines, but I had to get my 525sc intake manifold water ports on the Pantera welded due to salt damage.

The first two owners of this boat were , how can i put it,oh yeah, F*CKING ANAL about cleaning, servicing and most of all FLUSHING them motors. Do not quote me on the exhaust but I believe they were replaced some time around mid way thru the current hours.

Now that i go back and look at the pictures..if this has dry exhaust..then that was added. I'm pretty sure that boat had wet exhaust from factory. Pat would know.
