mikes280 05-15-2008 08:06 PM

inside looks the same, dash and what i can see of the seats

DirtyMoney 05-15-2008 08:09 PM

Bonefish is still painted on the side that was not damaged.

I hope not also

Like to think not, but sure hard to think otherwise.

Not a good idea to resell that one....:(

For sale in Baton Rouge but I had never seen it until the 200.

I could be wrong (although I rather doubt it) But it looks like the same boat to me.. & along the same lines that mikes280 already said the dash looks the same , even the top of the dash is the same color. Also why would anybody else actually paint a bonefish on the side...& only on one side.. (& yes I understand why it was on the boat originally)

I wasn't a member here when the accident happened but what a terrible tragedy !:( Not trying to bust the sellers balls here b/c I don't know the whole story but from the few pics I seen that boat probably didn't need to be fixed regardless of the fatalities... & I would Hate to see someday else get hurt , or even worse a repeat of what happened because of structural problems that may or may not be there... I do custom paint & body work of all sorts for a living & I see people get burned all the time by buying a car that either should have never been fixed in the first place , or the more common incompetent repair work of somebody patching something up just to try to make the most $$ they can off an uneducated buyer... & the vast majority of the time they never seen it coming...

I too could be wrong but, the two sides appear to be painted by different painters. Notice how much closer the stars are spaced on the starboard side than the port and they are not the same type stars. Also notice how the flag on the starboard side is much more realistic looking and has more detail than the port side. The port side "appears to be" an attempt at duplication. My guess would be yes.

I totally agree... the port side stars are just randomly placed throughout the blue where the other side is completly differant.. At the very least painted by 2 differant painters

Not sure if the seller is a member here or not ? (however most classifed ads on here are placed by members considering you can at least get a basic regestrtion for free)
So if the seller is reading any of this Please don't think I am trying to tear you or your boat apart b/c I am Not & I feel that we all deserve the benefit of the doubt. & who knows if it is the same boat maybe you bought it after it was fixed without any knowledge of its history so I am Not trying to accuse you of anything or totally screw up your sale... But if you are reading this & you can show that it is not the same boat that would not be a bad idea to do & I will be the first to appologize !!

That's gotta be the same boat. The previously wrecked side was painted to appear to match the other "good" side. It's mostly blue, while the good side is mostly stripes. The patched up side looks like a big squid, with the stripes for tentacles. I don't know what they were thinking with the green.

That boat had some major structural damage. If the structural work was done to the same level as the attempt at matching the paint, there's a big problem, especially for the unsuspecting buyer. Hope they get a good survey.

More often than not those two go hand & hand...
