Quit weighing......

You won't find a nicer boat at that price. If I wasn't long on boats and short on cash, I'd have already made the deal.

Sank, Rolled, Raced, Bought ,Sold, Redone, Etc.. anyone ever hear of stress...it happens more on a boat than a US Air 737 Plane. At 100K I would be looking the other way... no offense but it is for sale at 100k because no one will give him 110k

It's still BAD-A$$. I don't care what is has been through, apparently it can take it because it is not all busted up. If I had the cash right now I would jump on it for that price. I love boats with a history, just my .02

cue fountain delamintion joke.....now

Just kidding, but really, yeah the boat has been run hard, put up wet, been under water, but the damage is either there or not, if a boat goes under there is only lasting damage if the water penetrates into wood or foam coring, otherwise its not really a concern for the hull itself, and the rigging obviously has been gone through several times since then.

I've driven a boat that the decks were so worn they flexed when you walked on them, but the hull itself was solid as day 1. Sure it was beat the death and looked like hell, but structurally that meant nothing.

You are correct, but I JUST(and I mean just) made an offer on a house I can't pass up here in S. Fla when this thing popped up for sale....

I should have an answer asap, if they decline I may be living in a truck pulling a Gladiator around.

At least that way I KNOW I will never be married.

There's a reason why you sold your Fountain and are looking for a Gun, Same reason this boat is fine even after all of that....

IT'S A CIGARETTE!!




Really though, someone explain to me why this boat (run hard, raced, rolled, sunk, etc.) is any different than someone who's run their boat just as hard?

I understand racing takes it's toll on a boat but is there something that a suvey can't find on a race boat that it could find on a regular boat? Wet transom? cracked stringers? stress cracks? First off, all of that can be repaired (just like new) and probably happens on many of the boats that are sold that ARENT race boats. So this boats history is known, I don't think it changes it any from any other comparable Glad on the market. The only reason it sells for less is because people use it's history as a tool to lower the price. Right or wrong.

But I know this, if I was in the market for a new boat I wouldn't pass on this one due to it's history. I'd get a survey and find out if anything major is wrong and then jump on it. At least you know what to look for with an ex raced boat with a known history. You buy some ya-hoo's boat off the market you have no idea of the history except the survey.

Just my .02.
