It is listed on ebay and on the classifieds here, it is the white, with the blue and gold stripe it is listed for 39k on here and says it shows new, the price is much cheaper and in talks of trading my boston whaler as part of the deal, of coarse no money would change hands untill I see the boat but it does look pretty nice. As far as traveling the waterway, my dad wants to do it with me, we both have boated all our lives and are thinking of doing it to just say we are doing it. He says if I pay for fuel he will pay for dockage and any food hotels, but most likely will go with a trailer because I would prefer to keep it on a trailer anyways so might as well buy it now....

That boat has been for sale a looooooong time. I would have an inspection and see it in person before handing them $1. Cheaper in the long run to pay more up front then to buy a problem and try to fix it.

Thanks everyone, i wasn't going to give any money before I saw it in person, and I asked for a few more photos of certain areas and the owner will not supply them.... I may put a very low offer in, and if he takes it go from there on seeing the boat. I don't have a problem with projects, as long as you assume its a project and are paying project price... Thanks again

Sometimes the boat could be free, and still cost more to get it into the shape you want it, then buying one already to run. Takes big money to get a beat up boat back into good "Cigarette Shape" . Just my 2 Cents. I am sure others will chime in. Other good boats in the mix.

That would be my thinking...
