The boat is also on CL and is asking 9500 OBO.

Yes I saw the CL ads.

The CL ad lists it as $9500 without a trailer, $12,000 with.

I believe the ebay auction is a $10,000 reserve with the trailer.

Cash talks. I go with money in my hand and BS the guy and so on and bring out the green. Here is what I have and what its worth to me. Ill take it now with green in your pocket and boat on my truck. I dont see anyone else here. And that will get it done.

P.S. been for sale atleast 1.5 years I looked into it last ear as a 2nd boat as I was redoing the cig.

8 would take that home i think, honestly with the number of baots for sale right now anything more than 8 is paying to much if you ask me. Check out that excal in NY for 6500 ASKING price

Did you see the banana in person when you looked into it? If so any impressions would help.

I was thinking around $8000 for the banana.

And yes I saw the Excalibur in NJ (seen it about a month and a half ago), Haven't been able to get a day to go look at her.

just to clarify - this is NOT #14. #14 is a yellow outboard in San Fran. this is definitely an early one but this is one that was made under lic agreement so the #'s are messed up - they made more and didn't pay my dad the royalties. unfortunately many like this in the 80's.....

Another point about those early boats.....please check the fuel tank....many developed leaks. A surveyor and a pressure test should answer any questions.

This is old enough that the tank may have already been replaced.

BTW starting in August, the Banana website will have a "Banana Boats for sale" section added. Costs for Banana owners trying to sell their boats will be $25 for 100 days.

Stay away from this 80 "Banana"....unless you like ripping out and replacing stringers and such......it is a rotten banana....very rotten....and they know it. Starboard engine stringer is ONLY held in pla e by the engine, ripped out of bulkhead completely and is listing 20 degrees verticallly alo g it's length. And lots more rot is easily front from bow to. stern

I am glad they enticed me to make the 12 hour drive one way to see it.......Lap Dancer was only 5 miles away...at least was...now that 78 Cigarette 24 is right behind me on the road to WNC

Wow ..thats my old boat from 20 years ago..It was a black hull originally, I wasnt sure but the plate in the the engine confirms it I put that in. It originally was a 454 trs, that was counter rotated ( why i never new) I have pics somewhere me and brother and harry bailey(baileys marine in oceanside) split the deck from hull to redo fuel tank(cause didnt want to cut floor) that boat WAS a beast..hope someone restores it..
