~ Project Boats ~
 

I think just about everyone here surfs the net looking at boat ads. Ive been casually looking for a project boat for the past 2 years. Im looking between 22' and 27'. The perfect boat for me would probably be a 252 with a cuddy. Completely stripped, or a destroyed interior is perfect (I might know a couple guys that work on boats). 24 Outlaws, 240s and 250s are also on the list. No Islanders or open bows. Post your Ebay, craigslist, or boat trader finds here please!

Is there a max price?

nothing higher than you can get out of a used transmission and transfer case for a AWD chevy van :party-smiley-004: sorry Greg just messing with you

Here's one Greg

I showed him that one but no trailer...

Light damage... I'd hate to see what he thinks severe damage is!

You guys are on the right track. This thread can be for everyone. We have a similar thread on the Island Pirates site called "Great Starter Boat" that is about 38 pages long.

took me a good 6 months of searching everywhere you can imagine for my project boat. i ended up with a 89 baja sport 250 which is a 27' if you include the platform. i bought it with no motor, no interior, no windshield and found out it had shot stringers and a questionable transom after we got it home. it was the best i could find in my under 5k price range at the time. i found the same boat but a year newer complete minus a motor a few months later that sold for around 4k:( anyways the boat is all rebuilt now, i think i built a pretty decent boat fr about 10k total invested, now i am adding more stuff so i have bone past the 10k mark.

I just sold a 1995 27.2 with a fresh 502 in it for 4,500 needed a drive and I sold the guy a drive too. I can see if he wants to sell it.
