Well, we were able to come to an agreement, contract is signed, as long as the survey comes back clean, I will be a new owner of a classic flatdeck!

This is going to be the longest winter in history!

FYI, thanks to everyone here on OSO, that helped provide me with the info to make my decision easier!

Full Force 10-21-2014 04:59 PM

Congrats bud! I love the boat looks great! More pics??

tommymonza 10-21-2014 05:12 PM

Love the original Old School look of the paint and interior.Man I can't believe you were able to get this boat in the 20 range and fresh power to Boot Congrats looks like fun

Unlimited jd 10-21-2014 05:15 PM

Good luck! Great boat, read the survey well and ask plenty of questions before deciding either way

sonic700 10-21-2014 05:18 PM

Best of luck! Hope everything works out for you

zombiescustoms 10-21-2014 05:19 PM

It's a 20 footer, and needs a bit of sprucing up, but yes, I feel as though I'm getting a smoking deal!

I will get more pics and start a new thread once its in my driveway!

ICDEDPPL 10-21-2014 05:52 PM

Nice! Congrats. I like the cushions, they`re ready to go. The panels in the cuddy are super easy to upgrade to what ever color you want.

sonic700 10-21-2014 06:02 PM

they sure are. one of the easiest cheapest project I did was the cuddy

Full Force 10-21-2014 07:27 PM

Looks great! I bet some magic eraser will do wonders on the interior looks like it should clean up nice, unless I can't see pics well... Spray nine and erasers work great!

Engines look good too like the colors

Some detailin she's lookin sweet!

zombiescustoms 10-21-2014 07:36 PM

Thats the plan, major douche, and scrub before it gets too wintery here!

Phuck that

Do a good thorough health check on the motors and drivetrain and go run the CHIT out of it to make sure she is healthy so you will have all winter to fix her if she's not

zombiescustoms 10-21-2014 08:15 PM

The motors are fresh, talked to the builder (CMS) they are 540s, bowtie blocks, callies cranks, carrillo rods, J/E pistons, hyd roller cams, edelbrock hard anodized aluminum heads, 850 cfm proform carbs, est 620-640 a side. They have 20 hours on them. The trannys were done at the same time, one drive has been recently been done, and the other has 50-60 hours on it.

Full Force 10-21-2014 08:27 PM

Sweet, good luck bud let us know how she runs! should be low 70's all day with that power..

zombiescustoms 10-21-2014 08:32 PM

I did a sea trial the first time I looked at it, it has 26p 4 blade props and was turning only 5k, and was running 68 in flat water 3 people and full tanks, the owner said he was running 25s and in the low 70s at a bit more rpm, but he blew a lower, and lost a prop, hence the 26s on there now

My buddy on here with his 38 Topgun twisted a propshaft off his having it propped up for speed like that with the 26s . He dropped down a size and lost some speed but had no problems afterwords if /i am correct.
