No its not, and has not been since it left there originally.

And I am able to get all of the original things for it.

On 00 Myco trailer.

5k sound reasonable?

Re: 27 Pricing information
 

Still too much. I'm serious, banks just want to get the stuff off the books. They have already written it off anyway since the owner stripped it before they re-poed it. If it's sitting on the trailer, they won't sell the trailer without the boat (what will they do with it?). Give them $1000 for the works max. You are probably their best hope to get rid of it.

Tell them how difficult it will be to get all the parts. BS them into thinking they need YOU to get it out of there. Nobody else will touch it.

Yes, I am getting a few quotes on the engine/drive combo (502mag/B1), and need to contact fountain about the price of a new interior, then will do a reasonable estimate of rigging a boat like that.

Re: 27 Pricing information
 

Whenever you are finished coming up with an estimate, make sure to double or triple it. It is all of the little pieces (tabs, rams, hydraulic hoses, stainless clamps, coolers, strainers, wiring harness, etc.) that end up killing you. I did the same thing on an older 33 Fountain and it was very frustrating financially when I was all done. I have alot more into it than it is worth. The only way I would do it again is if I had the time (alot of it), space (indoor and close by), and extra cash laying around doing nothing. Paying others to do some of the work also eats up the cash fast.

When you are all done you will probably discover that you spent as much or more than if you just went out and found one already running. That also gets you on the water much faster.

Good luck,
Doug

good luck

Re: 27 Pricing information
 

The little things like hoses and fittings will kill the budget. I had no idea untill i started rigging mine. I had drives and engines and thought the big costs were over. Not even close. The rigging parts add up way faster than you think, makes you understand how boats cost so much. Also, you are going to need to build it with new or slightly used parts or it wont be worth the 2000 price when you go to sell it. It will be obvious that it was pieced together with cheap parts. I would try to get the boat just take your time getting it together.

I am able to get all of the original parts for cheap.

Re: 27 Pricing information
 

Any connection to the original owner? If these are from this boat, would they not be considered stolen at this point? I guess I am not sure what you mean by "all of the original parts for cheap".

I was pricing a complete standard cockpit interior to refit a 29 race boat about 2 years ago and the estimate was 10-12k and that was not including the cabin.

Good luck, Todd

Re: 27 Pricing information
 

Sorry, did not specify. Original color interior/engine same as what came in it stock. Not the parts that came out of the boat, but the same as what it had on day 1.
