I'm gonna give you the brutal truth.
You have more money in this boat than you will ever see from it.
If it isn't running, it's not worth much.
If you get it running, it's still not worth what you have into it.
If you don't "love" the boat, cut your losses and sell.
If you don't "love" the Cig you want to buy, it will likely see the same fate as your Apache.
Cut out the middleman and just buy a cruiser - that'll be the next thing for you.
Sorry, I'm kinda hardcore about classic offshore boats. If you're not gonna finish her to what she deserves, cut your losses, and hand her to someone that has the respect to treat her right.
You're the one that started this project, .....

I totaly agree with bouy here, as I have said before finish it outa love for it or dump it and move on. Sad to say it but the truth is eather way you loose yer money so you just can't think in those terms (money). I do feel your pain.

Cosmic - aren't you between boats right now??
This would be a good one for you.
If I didn't already have an unfinished project, I'd consider adding this one to the stable.
But, a second unfinished project would =equal= divorce for me.
I kinda like my wife a lot, so I don't want to put myself in that position.

I agree...

Just give her to me :drink:

make me a offer on my Apache

It wasn't too long ago when folks would inquire about john johns boat and you would innocently jump on the tread slamming his boat and pimping yours. Not a class act! Long time posters would vouch for the boat, did'nt matter. So, hows the flippng boat thing working out? :rolleyes:

How much
 

Whats your asking price?:cool:

If you ask, He'll say he's not sure about selling it!:Whatever:

The only thing this boat needs is new power? TOO EASY!

Yup it would make a nice home for my pair 454s sitting in the storage shed.:drink:
