I can broker a deal on #14 if anyone wants to do a resto.
It needs stringers, (wet but not rotted), bulkeads, seats and dash, but the power was good and she had lots of reported top speed, (claimed a recent 83 mph on GPS w T225 Merc, K planes and Hydraulic Jacks). Price is probably below $5k if I had to guess.

I'd have done her myself but I have no where to put herthat I could work on her, and I'm a little burnt on restorations,


Located West Coast

wet stringers and bulk heads, questionable transom
needs new floor, but you'd have to take the old one out to get to the stringers anyway, Located S.F. CA. needs interior and gauges too. (and a windshield demolition, and new plexi)
The price was $6K w1980/81 Merc 225s with fresh tune, K planes and jackplates, when I had a structural survey done, found out it was wet and walked on the deal.

Again, Wet, not rotted.
I just didn't have anywhere to do the work

I would expect it could be bought for much less now

There are many pics of it in the Banana owners forum under various thread names.

Let me know if you need me to make a call.

I never called the owner back to tell him the outcome of the survey,

My bad

Keep the stuff coming on the old boats......some are sure to make the grade..........Top Banana is on top of the situation up in RI to rebuild the old stuff...........he never sleeps, so he has more time than me..........old hulls with numbers can work,, we do not confirm that old motors will.............
