It needs a good cleaning I was on it not to long ago it has been sitting for awhile but the interior has not been trashed yet. The motors look like ford tractor motors and it will need a new covers thats about it, it was a divorce boat and the wife wanted 37k for years she must want to dump it!!

Thanks Brett. When you were on it was it just looking it over or did you go for a ride?

T-RAV 01-28-2013 09:56 PM

I called on it a while back when I was up at loto, the lady said it did need some work, she said there was some cracking on the top deck and also the swim platform would not stay tight. She did say they beat on the transom and it seemed solid but they cant figure out why it keeps getting loose. I didn't even go look at it...

ttuton 01-29-2013 05:13 AM

Thanks for the input, sounds too rough for me!

i called & left 5 messages on this boat back in 08. Never once got a call back. Came upon it when down looking at the Cafe, was off 54 by GG bridge. Looked decent on exterior but had covers on & i didnt want to help myself to a look inside. Never did find out what the asking price was back then.

I bought the boat a couple weeks ago it's getting a make over right now. It's at vincentcustompaint getted painted. I hope to have it done and back on the market in a few months.

Congrats on the new purchase. Look forward to seeing the outcome! Are you keeping the same power or upgrading?

When I get it back from paint. I'll pull the motors and take them to Smith Power to be checked out and dynoed will decide from there. I've done several bullets in the past just don't know how far I'll go with this one.

shame , shame , shame

Congrats, Carter! At that "internet price", figures you couldn't restrain yourself from picking up another Bullet. Are you sure Vincent knows how to paint Cigs, though? :lolhit:

Would love to see what you're doing with the paint and the overall condition of the boat.

BTW, I checked this boat out back in '07 and she was asking $50k at that time w/ a trailer. Carter, if you're interested, I jotted down a bunch of info on it from back then. Email me if you're interested in it: [email protected].

Nothing to be ashamed off at all. Bullet is a great boat and handles like a much bigger boat.

I've been carter31 in the past and carter38 lol this is my 5th bullet to do of my own not including all the others from around here that I've done or at least worked on. I'll stick to carter38 for now because a step is in the future. Can't make up my mind between a glad or a gun might end up carter36.

caseyh 02-04-2013 08:01 PM

This will make the 3rd one being redone right now.

GL@PBC 02-07-2013 04:34 PM

I'm listing a clean looking 88 Bullet, 502s, Bravos, Vincent paint on a trailer. Details to follow...

carter38 04-09-2013 12:13 PM

Thanks guys don't know what all we are going to do on the power just yet. Prolly run the 502's for a season then redo everything in the engine compartment next winter. Running out of time to get everyone done for this year.
