It adds up fast doesn't it! Hopefully it's all worth it in the end!!!

This is a great PROJECT for the do it yourselfer, if your writing checks not so much, if I could spare the cash it would already be in my shop. Tried to do a deal with Adam month's ago. Hope someone picks it up AT's are a great boat, and this one still has lots of potential, it being an 06 center entry cabin are a big + for me. just saying

None of the pics show any of the fiberglass damage. Bid is at 12.9k...better take it and run! Would take 100k to make it 100% again.

What am I missing here..... Walk me thru this, if the hull is solid the gimbles are good then it needs:

New Wiring
New Foam and upholstry
New Motors
New Drives

Yeah I under stand if I am writing a check to rebuilt it. It would get expensive, but if a true do-it yourself was to take this job and take a year and buy parts as you go thru the year. How can this cost more then new.

It needs a fair amount of glass work, then paint along with everything else mentioned

Have you seen it in person? Buddy of mine looked it over pretty well and there is not that much damage, I also can't see where you come up with 100k to fix it unless someone dropped it off as is and picked it back up turn key new power on a new trailer

Word on the street is the original owners kid took it out for a joy ride one day without papa's permission. From there several stories emerge. I don't know which one I've heard I believe personaly so ill let you fabricate your own that results in this boat sitting in its current state of condition.

I will say Adam is a good guy for helping me score my new floatila tho!
