Didnt it roll and sink at one point and time? Its been a repo for a while Kurt.

Yeah, I'm aware Dan. I frequent these forums on occasion:lolhit::drink:

:evilb::evilb::evilb:

:D:drink::D:drink:

Just double checkin!:D

Wasn't that the one at National forever listed for $17k that was "on hold" waiting for paperwork?

I like it.

Wonder if he'll trade me a Nortech hull for it?:coolcowboy:

Looks like the Texas place is hoping to make a few bucks on the sale with out ever taking possesion. :rolleyes:

It rolled while the guy that bought it from Jeff was giving a demo ride to a potential buyer on Havasu. It's beat and stripped.

Wow...

Sounds like I should let that guy drive my boat. :bsflag:

WAT! :drink::lolhit:

There ya go Matt. Good winter/spring/summer/fall project. :lolhit:

Anybody ever figure out why the nose looks so wierd?

What do you mean?

I understand it's been stripped but what do you mean by beat? Has the hull integrity been compromised?

Sounds like a decent price if you want a project boat and you have some power plants to donate!

i think its a shadow now that i look more.

if u look threw some of the other pics.

In better times...

Last three posts all at the same timestamp! That's strange! :eek:

He's refering to the funky "bend" at the bow tip. Someone (don't remember who) on one of the threads said it had something to do with how it was pulled from the mold but I highly doubt it. Then again, it's a capped deck requiring a BUTT load of sanding and filling (thus one of the reasons they don't build them anymore).

I think it's just the lighting in the pics personally.

Beat as in it's going to need to be built from a bare hull up. EVERYTHING is gone but the hull/tanks & saddles and the interior needs to be replaced. Plus that thing has been sitting out uncovered for god knowns how long. National has had it listed for about a year now. So, it most likely is going to need to at a minimum be color sanded and buffed plus touch ups. Not to mention its been under water which for some that's a red flag (doesn't actually bother me but....) If you do the math, there's a reason why this thing is sitting still. In this market theres just too many good deals on Glads out there. WEEEEEEEEEEEEll over 100k to put this thing back together.

Thanks for the explanation!

No sweat:drink:

Yea, thanks for the info Tank. Never noticed that on the nose. Almost like a mini beak...:eek:

That bow has been repaired by a hack.

its just the lighting and angle of the pic

boat listed as SOLD in classifieds and the seller left us all a message:

oso j offs????? got A JOB. or a BOAT?????????????????

Maybe, maybe not.

reflection of bow stop in paint converging with the side stripes

If you say so.

HAHAHA that's gotta be a note from the guy that bought it and is trying to flipt it! :eek:

I'm not trying to talk sh!t about the boat, just stating the facts. At 18-20kk that boat might be worth the purchase if you laready had motors/all the hardware/drives/etc. If you planned on putting it together piece by piece it'll cost too much. Just my .02

Tank,

Have any better photo it ?


Thanks
Jon

Sorry no, just the ones I posted.

Suprised no one on here has looked at it to verify.

More correspondence

Seriously...This guy needs to take a night class on the written English language before he puts fingers to keyboard. I actually can not understand what he's saying at all.


Dreamer, where are you getting these messages from?

But on a side note...Congrats if this guy (that has issues with English) bought the boat and is putting it back together for a good price. More power to him. Really no need to get upset.
