Anyone looking for a project?
 

I have two 1979 banana former race boats.

I'm keeping the I/O boat.

My brother was restoring the outboard boat and lost interest.

How long is a banana boat?

Various sizes but I think he's talking about the 24'.
Very cool old school boat from the 24' Cigarette mold. See some pics and read a little history here.....

Only if it come with a 38. to cure my mental illness because I took on another project.

How far along did it come or is it a complete redo....

Old Excalibur molds

Wow....enlighten us please with this gem of knowledge!!!

OH BOY!!!......Here we go, hey Charlie!

it was just a matter of time.....lol

Well I guess since he only had 22 posts in 9 years, we may have to wait a while for the information to come out.

Air Dog, did you sell your boat or project as you like to call it?

SP are you off this weekend for the Tipsy run?

Old Man, that isn't you posting under another name re Excalibur's is it LOL?

I will be at the Tipsy...are you going???

The grand kids are here for a week, so if I go out it will be just to watch, either in the Providence River or down in Warwick Cove at the card stop.

I will be in my 24 Banana. Black / White / Red bootstripe

good... will be looking for you... hey maybe you can be on the water when I come out of providence so you can show me that short cut around the sand bar......

If I do that, you will be the first boat into Warwick Cove, what will those Outerlimits guys think then?????

I don't think so!!

Charlie, I tried. It didn't work. We either need steps or more horsepower.

You ran the heck out the boat though, You were right up front with us!! She sounds awesome!!

Charlie... Boxer and I spoke on saturday... we can get one to really run...

saw this today: https://boston.craigslist.org/nos/boa/5734402481.html

So nobody wants my project boat then?

Are they just outboard models?

The project boat I have is an outboard model.

Air Dog, could you tell me more about the o/b race banana you have for sale? If you have some pics you could send my way, it would be appreciated ([email protected]). Does it have a finished cabin or large race bulkheads under the deck? Does it currently have power, interior, and a trailer? Also, how is the transom? Lastly, what are you asking? please let me know. Thanks, Brad

Hi Crookeddeal,

Should I be concerned about your name before I do a deal with you?

Just kidding.

Boat is a race lay up, but it has the pleasure cabin with no extra bulkheads.

That being said, it is a no frills rig with no interior cushions.

The boat is an hour from me and I have 4 jobs so it I'm lacking in pictures.

Boat is on a dual axle galvanized trailer.

$2500

I would be interested in seeing some pics and also details. [email protected]

I finally got over and took pics of the old "Blue Max" banana boat.

Text me if you want pics.

Someone asked about just the hull, 1500.

I will deliver up to 50 miles if I get beer when I get there.

Air Dog....you still have Blue Max?

Might have a customer..... now that summer is almost here.

Yes, still have it

This the one in Bedford?

Yes, the boat is in Bedford. The house the boat is being stored at is being sold.

I have lost my storage and need to move the boat

This boat is solid.

Transom is cosmetically challenged but is solid.

It was a running boat with twin 200 Yamahas up until a few years ago.

Craigslist ad is gone, so I think it is gone. Hulls of any brand without power in our area seem to never sell.

What are yoou looking for? 24 specifically or just a 24 Banana Boat?

I have a nice 28 foot center console with no power.

HaHa. Thanks for responding Charlie.

I want a money tree. I recently restored a mako and love the boat, but its only a 19'. My wife and kids now enjoy going out, but want bigger boat with some cover for kids. I saw his ad last year. I want a 24+ with outboards. I wanted to grab his, restore it with two honda 225s that I have a line on. I never emailed him or anything because it was just not in the cards. I did haul a cigarette home tonight though in that mako.
