Default My Boat......

Sad to say, after a very long career racing- 20+ years- and boating just as long, I find that taking out my 33 Fountain on the weekends just isn't doing it for me anymore. My life is changing and I have found other interests that I am pursuing. Which leads me to my boat. Why can't I sell it? It's a pristine 160 original hour '89 that I bought new. It seems everyone brings up the fact it has TRS drives-hardly used TRS drives at that, and can't get parts for them-not true. All the aftermarket companies are making them and there is plenty of NOS around. Anybody who know's drives, knows that these were great and stronger than bravos and had high horsepower attached to them very often. Secondly, the other reason seems to be no trailer. I live on the water and she stays on a lift. I will bring it to you if I have to. It's killing me to see it just sit in my yard all covered up. Just make me a REASONABLE offer for a one of a kind boat, the last flat transom made. Many OSO members know me and this boat quite well and will vouch for me. Someone, please, take it home. Season is coming......

I feel your pain, my TRS brother! My boat has been advertised on OSO since October. I have had almost 3000 hits in the 3 month period. The boat is solid and very sea-worthy. People are tire-kickin', but no one serious has thrown out a REASONABLE offer.

You are not alone. Good luck. Someone should take her home soon as Spring is coming quick.

Shockwave, is your boat listed here on OSO?
You should show a link.

I will put it back in classifieds today with pics. I just don't want to abuse the general forum with for sale items.
