It was on Facebook power boat swap shop a few days ago. The close up pics if the wrap looks like they used a matt finish wrap, don't care for that look! Other than that looks like a decent buy!

I watched this boat in Cleveland sit for sale for at least 2 years in a parking lot by Cleveland airport. It was in pretty rough condition then. At one time it was on Craig's for sale at $15k... Even though the transom may have been replaced, there is lots of history not being disclosed from what I understand.... I believe that Full Force had looked at it in another location a few years ago when it was for sale as well.... I've heard it was under water at one time as well.... I'm sure that there is someone on here that will chime in with more details....

It's ebay...just because it said it sold doesn't mean it sold.

Normally you will see it back up in a few days.

Isn't the 90 mph wrap the equivalent of putting ss badges on a v6 camaro? That boat had been for sale for a LONG time before the wrap. And the prop pictured looks like it's hit everything but the lottery.

1/2 points on that comment - NOTHING replaces researching a boat's history to your own satisfaction. It's not all cut and dry when it comes to comments thrown out on these forums and there is no better place to start researching a boat than by asking on here. That said, there ususally has to be BS for someone (legitimate - not a poser) to call BS.

To each their own...

Completely off topic, but why is the cafe racer you built back in your possession and for sale stripped?

Look at second pic of the original listing in cabin, is that a water line?

For me that boat is just too old and much more to fix it up compared to what can be purchased on the market, I do not see one thing about it that does not need attention it looks like a big money pit to me.. but it is a boat they all are....
