Yup, I see it 2. The motor on the right is a newer one. Left one is prob original......

Still seems like a good deal tho.

I guess I'm a more accepting kind of person than some of you. New interior? It's going on 9 years old and I dont' think it looks all that bad. New dash? If it aint broke, don't fix it. Sure black on black isn't modern, but couldn't "classic look" be used here?

If I had 40 large laying around, I'd be looking at this boat for sure. But I don't, so I'll just critisize all of you instead!! LOL!!

if it looks bad in the pics its usualy alot worse in person.
it STILL may be a good deal though.
my first reaction was this boat looks extremely abused:(
for 40k i want something at least a little reliable.......if thats possible for a boat:p

Mike , did you boot the deadbeat yet?

Waterfoul 12-01-2003 09:10 PM

nope. but I have a reason.

Waterfoul 12-01-2003 09:12 PM

a very self centered, benifits Mike reason.

What could go so horribly wrong that an entire new engine (injection, exhaust manifolds, fuel delivery) would be needed?

He'd have to have a great survey done but unfortunately most surveyors would not notice this difference (most just want to take a ride in one of them C-gar boats).

As for the 32' comment, not goin' there.

Try about 5k for a new interior, and thats R&R yourself.

Not that bad but I'd have to also add on trailer,survey, and tranport back to Pa, Plus i'd have to fly out to TX to check it out, add it all up and it's not worth it for me if it was closer with a trailer I'd be looking into it.
