Bro, you have been looking and asking for some time now and several good boats have been recommended to you with very good prices which seem to be close to your budget and some way below. How serious are you about buying a boat???? The schmidt racing 26 foot corsa is back for sale on S&F for $6500 with a # 3 on it, motor and external steering. You'll need to spend money on it if you want to go racing and the reality is you will spend money on any 24 foot boat you find under $10,000.00 to make it race ready. If you want an outboard, buy the corsa, sell the drive, motor and steering and seal the transom. Take the money and buy a bracket and a good used outboard. It will however be slow with the outboard. The package as it sits has alot of potential and is a damn good starting point. I redone a 1973 24 X 7 recently which now shows like new and has all the hardware to take it racing today. It also cost over $15,000.00 to do this less the cost of the boat, trailer and labor. You probably woudn't need to go this far as the boat seems to have all the hardware in it. Tell you what, if it's still sitting there in a week it'll be sitting next to my cheetah in a week and a day.
