He said that you could but the tabs and drives from victory marine ontop of the price of boat. Looks to be a smoking deal.....
Thanks

Stay away...I have never seen a cig in worse condition. The owner let it sit in the water for years. I have pictures somewhere of this boat out of the water that would make a strong man cry!

If it still looks like on the pictures,,,and sounds solid......then i think 25 is a deal if u do the work yourself.

So lets say 40 all done,,,used drives and so even less.

I've been wondering about this boat too.

It's been for sale for a while, and the price constantly dropping. I've just assumed it is very rough, but at this price a great buy for a do-it-yourself guy.

I also think at some times it's been listed by the individual and 1 or more brokers (at 20K more).

This boat would have been in better condition if it it sank.

I do have to chuckle a bit on the numbers. Not that its a bad deal but having done this myself I would double the estimate.

Even at that if you do it yourself and know that its done right it would be worth it to the right person. My problem has always been the anal tendencies. I can't put something back on unless its perfect.

If its been sitting in water that long I would be most concerned about a wet transom. Of course if you have the glassing skills and if you are already pulling motors the transom may not be that big of deal.

I hope someone grabs this one and cleans it up. It would be a great thread to watch.
