3k for the whole boat and trailer? The trailer is worth that alone. The motor and drive is worth that alone. Depending on your skill level, popping the deck and refitting on your boat wouldn't be unheard of. I couldn't do it. But someone like glassdave or someone with glass skill could do it.
I think for 3k, why the hell not? You could piece that thing out and get 3 times your money back pretty quick. |

Hey man, just got to listening to your voice mail. You might be running into more hassle then its worth on this boat. If you say the boat is falling apart, meaning not just the delamination. I would be worried that the motor was not winterized at last time of pulling it out of the water. The motor might fire and run, but I have a feeling that once it gets warmed up, cracks are going to open up..anyway its up to you on what you want to do..you still haven't even given me a figure on what you would want for the windscreen, I need a figure to even go off of. How is the windscreen held on to the boat anyway>?

If I recall they are threaded for a bolt, or stud on the bottom side. After removing all of them just use a wire, saw blade, or putty knife to cut the sylicone bond. I would avoid prying on it as the last resort.

so, i bought it. Im atwork right now screwing with the thing. Anyways i have found that it has a carb intake and a thunderbolt 5 dist. they just replaced the pickup module in the dist. i ran the numbers on the block and it is a gen 6 454. so,its got a carb... and a t bolt 5 dist with a missing knock module. So far what i know is the knock module was an input to a processor for timing changes due to engine knock. This unit is not a fuel injected unit and im not sure if i need that module to make it run. anyways i have put B+ direct on the coil and overlayed the circuits. if i take the rotor out of the dist and disconnect and connect the rd/white the coil will spark. if I install the rotor and spin the engine over no spark. i obtained a TB IV wiring diagram and wired in (overlayed) an old TB IV ign amplifier and no spark. What the fudge
the block looked good and there was antifreeze in the block. so it had to run to pump that in there. I just want to hear it run. What i need to do is just find a points distributor and light her off. |
I don't think you did too bad for $3K. I would love to see more pictures of the delam. Did the previous owner have any idea what happened to it to cause that?
If you were closer I would probably take those cabin cushions but I don't think it would be worth the hassle to ship them. |
He had no clue. Said they had it off the trailer and there was a point of impact (then he pointed toward the keel about 4 foot up from stern). He said that him and a friend did strip a majority of the glass/resin off

Im glad you bought it. This boat has been on the back of my mind. Like I said, if it was closer I would be the one posting pictures. Good luck.
