Default 1977 24 if anyone is interested

I just drove by this boat today and talked to the owner over the phone. It looks to be in fairly good condition with a quick look over the outside. It was raining so I did not get into it too much. I think he was asking $8500 OBO with a 454 and TRS drive. I think it would be a fun boat but I don't think I have the time to fix it up (but I would like to) Anyone know this boat?

I think it would be a blast to ride on but I don't think my wife would enjoy the white knuckle ride I suspect it would be. The interior looked real clean as well and I did not look at the cabin. It has sit down seats, has anyone ever made them into a stand up boat by modifying the floor? Or would sit down bolsters be the way to go? I don't know much about the TRS drive.

I've got one with covertable bolster seats. It originally was a retired race boat from the great lakes. It has a TRS and a 550 hp 504 I beat the livin snot out of it and have had no problems with the drive but, threw a rod last run last season motor is coming back as a 526. My girlfriend loves the thing and its a ton of fun and can definately bea white knuckle ride if you want it. From the pictures it looks as thou it has the original motor probably 330hp. I bought mine for $4,500 but it needed alot of work.

very nice boat, any more pics of the interior? Is it a 7' beam or 6.5'? I tapped on the sides of the boat and it sounded very hollow. Is this common? If so is this considered a lake boat or could it run in 2-4 footers? I am sure I will not make an offer but I am very interested in the older boats. I wish I had the means to buy it and restore it.

Its very skinny less than 7' at the stern mine is very solid but, it is one of a few kevlar boats they built in the 24' as for running in nasty water here's a pic from its racing days and that water is WAY bigger than 2-4'. As for interior pics until my motors done the wrap stays on but, I will say the interior was all wood paneled and trimmed to look old school.

That is the old Thunder Buzzard from Eastlake, Ohio. Raced with GLOPRA and owned by Tom Gulinburci.
