When we looked I had it bought pending the condition. Hull is completely rotten transom stringers and bulkheads. Engines are basically a bunch of autozone parts from what we could see. Headers and tail pieces were pieced together with rubber exhaust hose. It was definitely an old race boat you can see the holes for the Patterson side exhaust and large fuel fills glassed in on the deck. The deck is not cored at all it is cupped and bowed pretty bad. The drives were pretty rough too one had brand new oil the other was burnt pretty bad. Skegs were beaten up and had some bad repair work. Not sure about the trannies. Fuel tanks were pieced together and welded. Cabin is a complete abortion. Gauges, interior and controls are all out of a west marine catalog....trailer looks rough but seems to be structurally sound and is the least sketchy part of the whole thing. If you could buy it for 5k strip it, sell the trailer and give the hull to someone who will restore it that woul be the best case.
It's a shame because I really wanted this boat to be much better than it is.
I hope someone will restore the hull and make it back into what it once was.

Yup Greg bought it off of me and my pops. Did get a chance to take a picture of both the Blue hull 36 and the White staggard 36 next to each other before he took it.
