Default New Guy project Boat

I am picking up a 86 Force 250 i have a 502 lined up and a marine mechanic friend that will help with all mechanical work. My only concern on this boat is the damage on the bow. Does anyone think this is to much damage to repair or any idea on the cost of repair.

Call Kevin Brown with Lakeway Boat Repair in OH. He is a ex-Baja warranty/repair guy that can fix that blindfolded. 419-426-6875.

We can do any canvas/seating repairs you might need at the same time Kevin is repairing the fiberglass. We are all ex-Baja employee's that built your boat originally.

I have a 1985 Force 320, and I live in Chesterfield Twp., MI. I have a boat load of parts/props, etc. Let me know if I can help you out at all.

How much did you get that thing for? It was listed all over craigslist. Looked like it needed alot of work.
