Do any of the early 80's 38 Flat Decks have enclosed heads? Does anyone have photos of what the cabin looks like?

Russ

Russ,
Did you go look at that teal and white Bullet? I was wondering what happened with it/what kind of shape it was in.

Not sure about the enclosed head on the flatdeck.

Hey Craig

I did go see that Bullet, it has a lot of good things and a lot of not so good. The power and drives are a definite plus, what is there would be an awesome place to start. The two main negatives are there is a very long list of small stuff that needs to be addressed. the other negative is the stress cracks. There are major cracks were the fuel fill pockets are they wrap around the top of the gunwale. the other crack that I am concerned about runs along the deck were the raised section of the deck meets the flat part of the deck. to fix this would mean repaint from the rub rail up. The owner is a real nice guy, had a good time talking with him. but for the money he is asking for the boat it should be very close to perfect. I am still thinking about taking another look when it can be put in the water but I don't know if a price could be agreed on. last thing I want to do is insult him with a low ball offer. but to pay close to his asking price and then do all the repairs I could buy something else a lot nicer.
just my .02

Russ,
That's a shame The thing about finding a good quality old boat is that you have to look at alot of toads before you find the right one, but when you find it you will know right away!! Keep looking and don't get discouraged, it took me a year to find my princess But my wife and I couldn't be happier with our Bullet. I'll keep my eyes open for ya!!

Craig

Yep it's a good thing that I enjoy the hell out of boat shopping. I sure did not mean to say that this Bullet is a toad it just needs more than the selling price is willing to give me the ability to make this boat right and not be upside down. Impulsive buying is the worst thing a buyer can do.

Russ,
I had an enclosed head on my 302 Formula and you know what i like the head under the seat better. You can actually use it. Close the cabin door and its all private. My wife thought the same thing at first about having an enclosed head. She has no problems with the one now.

If you want, have your wife talk to my wife. And you'll have a Cigarette tommorow


Good Luck

Mark
