1980 Carrera SS7M
 

I have found a 1980 Carrera SS7M that a friend is looking to get rid of. Long story but it is a friends uncle's boat. His uncle bought it new. His uncle has been very sick for the last 6 years and they are getting tired of paying for the storage on it so my friends dad is looking to get rid of it. It's current state is very good minus the motor is somewhat disassembled (internals are still together and in the boat but bolt ons are taken off). No one knows what my friends uncle was doing when he started disassebling the boat so the motor is unknown. All of the parts seem to be there to put it back together. The outdrive has not been taken apart. As I said above the boat is in very good condition. Always stored inside. The interior is mint. The hull is mint. the trailer is in good shape. I have done several searches online about this model boat and have not come up with much info.

What is the boat worth in it's current state?

Anyone have any info on this boat?

I already have a Wellcraft Cuddy but I think this might be a fun boat to add to the fleet. It definatly does not seem like a family boat which is why i would probably keep the Wellcraft.

Thanks in advance,

Jason

Send me a price and location of the boat.

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

Thanks for the replies. I am still wondering if anyone has info on this boat? Also what it would be worth in it's current state? I am still thinking of buying it but if I do not I will let everyone know.

Thanks,

Jason

Jason: far as I have heard the boats were made in Miami by Humberto Picon, well built and good rough water performance. The Scorpion 24 was a "splash" of this hull. As far as what it is worth, without a motor or the motor in a state of dis-assembly it is probably in the 6-8G neighborhood. The condition looks to be excellent. You should check NADA, that will give you some idea as to the value.

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

How Much??

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

Yes, the condition is very excellent. That is the info I was looking for. I tried NADA but they don't have Carrera's listed back in 1980. I was hoping that I could pick it up for alittle less than 6-8G. What would it be worth in running condition?

Thanks again!!!!

Sorry about the shoes :eek: :drink: . I was careful.

I thought the vests were sweet too.

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

Not sure yet. I am still trying to talk the wife into letting me pick it up. :evilb: :evilb:

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

I think you need to spend more time around here :rolleyes:

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

NA NA NA NA NA, you just need to go buy it and bring it home. Anything less than 10 k definately needs no permission slip signed! :D

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

That is what I figure. It is easier to as for forgiveness then permission.

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

NOW you're getting the hang of this place :D :D :D

Cool boat BTW......

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

dont forget the 20,000 you will spend once you get it...................

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

I am not sure my budget will allow quite that much but..........

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

:drink: Thanks for the info.

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

i was low balling too...................

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

Are we talking the boat or the wife? :drink:

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

Cool boat! There's one up here, been for sale for a while at 11k, has a 420/454/TRS.

As for what is worth the way it is, I'd say 4-5k You'll probably sink at least 6k just to make it a runner.

As chriscarbone said, its a great boat in any water. lots of potential as well. CanDo

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

Thanks for the replies Biggus and CanDo.

As far as getting it sea worthy, I am assuming the motor will need to come apart at the very least to check on condition and reseal. The out drive and trans are also unknown. The out drive is half buried in the dirt so I am assuming it will need to come apart again to check condition and reseal. The trans ???????? Again assuming it will need to come apart to check condition and reseal.
The motor would be no problem as I feel I am fairly mechanical (have a part time motor sports and small engine service and repair business) but I have never taken an out drive apart (yet, I have the alpha off my Wellcraft and need to reseal it this winter). I feel I can definitely do the out drive and trans with a manual but am unsure on special tools needed.
Any idea's or hints would be greatly appreciated. Also costs associated with doing everything mentioned above with me performing all or most of the labor.

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

That's an "Alpha " Drive.

What that mean is $$$ when you try and put HP (also $$$) through that drive. :evilb:

You have a solid hull there, offer them $4000

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

Are you sure? I thought it was a TRS. Can someone else verify?

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

It is a TRS drive. You will need special tools to rebuild the drive. I would suggest taking it to a Merc. Service guy to check it out. AS for the trans. is it a Merc.2 trans or Borg? Both are easy to rebuild yourself. Part for the merc. 2 are getting harder to find so a good frshen up would be a good idea.

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

Well, as much as I would like to buy this boat, I really don't need it. For the amount of money I would have in this boat plus my Wellcraft I could be half way to the boat I really want. Plus insurance on 2 boats doesn't sound that great.
If anyone is interested in buying it email me at [email protected] with an offer. Also let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for all the great info everyone.

Jason

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

Anyone????

Offers?????

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

Where's the boat located?

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

About 25 min west of downtown Minneapolis.

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

I sent you an email, did you recieve it?

I work for Konrad Marine in Hudson WI. I can send someone over to pick it up if we can strike a deal.

Re: 1980 Carrera SS7M
 

No I did not recieve an email from you. Give it a try again. :drink:

Just to update this thread as I am getting emails every once and a while reguarding this boat. The family of the owner has deceided not to sell it at this time. I am hoping when they do I will be able to buy it from them. When they change their mind I will let everyone know that has already emailed me.

Thanks again,

Jason
