I get it, but look at what some of the running boats are going for between 60-80,000.... I never said it was a bad price, but no bank will finance older boats these days, let alone one that cant get a survery do to being incomplete, someone has to have cash most likely, loan would be hard to get...
thesre is some real nice hardware there and if I spent that money I would make sure I finished it and ran it... I had way more into my Baja then I should have... at least now I'm puttin it in a Cig...
I won't tell you what my buddy let his 41 Apache go for turn key with 900HP a side..
btw... wheres your boat?? see ya at Casino Friday night!! ???

My boat (Cig) is still in progress, chipping away at it. The SeaRay is in the water for this season, not as exciting, but as long as I'm on the water who cares. I wish I could be up there with you, but this wedding/bachelor party season is killing me. It has officially ruined boating season, I've been out only 4 times this whole year. Although the whole Vegas thingy last weekend was worth it!
We really f-d his thread up huh? sorry.

I agree, but someone, like myself, might be looking for a project just like that. It's a tough sell for sure as is. Not sure what;s left to finish, but for under 100K, you might end up with a very nice setup. Someone would have to have cash for sure.

Guys I agree with a lot of your statements But I'm feed up working in the sun with 100 to 110 feel temps here in NC for the past six weeks. Boat should of been in water in May. Rains, company coming to stay for a week at a time as put me behind. I've been chasing a ground problem in the starter circuit. Switched starters on engines, by passed one cable at a time, can't get starter to spin engine, just drags, hook positive to positive and starter spins engine. Hook one cable at a time and still can't get starter to spin engine without dragging. Wife dosen't like boat anyway. She wanted a pontoon or a Sundancer, after I sold the Mistress, so I bought her a pontoon, I have a jet ski also. So I'm on the water all the time anyway. If I could figure this starter thing out I could install the other engine. Both engines ran great on dyno. All parts inside and on engine are all performance after market parts. No GM stuff. To many things to list here. Someone with mechanical skills could have boat in water in a few days. All parts parts are here. I'm just tired of dealing with it. Someone use their equity line on their house and come and get it. I'm over it .

Walk away before you blow a fuse! Give it a month or two, enjoy your boating season, relax, then go back and finish it. We all get discouraged, but don't give up. You're too damn close!
finish it! finish it! finish it!
finish it! finish it! finish it!

I've been exactly where Harvey is, including the wife part. I fully appreciate his point. Once a project isn't fun anymore, gotta cut your losses. And boats are always projects, it is never "just finished"
