Looking for a 47 Lightning
#12
I think I saw it about a year ago and it wasn't very nice. I was thinking it was a salt water boat that needed some serious work. I've looked at so many I got confused and wondered if it was the same boat. Two weeks ago I went over to check it out around 5:00 p.m. just as they were closing. People were leaving like the place was on fire. This is how it looks now.

Maybe you can have them leave the motors out? I'm told it was leaking and they are resealing the drives. This might be a good deal for you as they want it gone. I bougt a 33 Outlaw from them a few years ago they didn't want around and they will make some great deals to make boats go away.

Yes sorry, I meant Eddie since he lives right there close. They also have an older one, a 97 I think it was.
The guy I talked to told me the 03 was a nice boat and they had the drives off doing service but it looks to be a little more than that. My last 47 had the arch also and I decided I didn't want one this time so I never went to look.

I have looked at that boat a couple times and it doesn't get any better, I looked at it a couple weeks ago and there was so much water puddled in the cover they put a sump pump to pump it off.
I think it had a water problem of some sort because they changed all the carpet in the cabin. That boat needs alot of work but for the right price and a lot of TLC it could be nice.
They have a 1997 47' that is in better shape than the 03.

If you want me to go over and take 1,000 pictures and send them to you let me know. It's "bike week" and I'll be over that way this weekend anyway. Just let me know.
Thanks, but only if you are near the place. Please don't go out of your way for it. I'm certainly interested in a 'too hard' project that is causing some head aches for someone...
Didn't manage to talk to anyone there overnight (my time), but will persevere and make sure I nail someone down tonight!
