I would just guess @ $100,000.00 to make it prestine....I would love to help you if laid purchase. I own RainsPerformanceMarine in Afton, OK....Can help you get parts cheaper than most..........Sounds like a great Fall project to me...........Just bring plenty of "COLD ONES."

That's a lot of boat for no money but if you figure in the cost of #six drives and 1000h.p. motors and interior and rigging. Wow, the number would be huge. Over $100,000 needed.What a project! Unless you had the above mentioned parts laying around, way more than the completed project would be worth. Doug

What kind of boat is it? Is it just me, or is there a LOT of exposed (and therefore rotted) wood in those pics?

Not a bad looking boat. Colors work well together.

Forget the 6's and 1000HP..... 525's for reliability

Jaguar

You would need more than 525"s and bravos to move this boat, with that combination it would be a drive breaking really slow turd. That hull wouldn"t see 85 m.p.h. with 525"s. It would be a very slow but pretty Jaguar. Doug

The bottom was blown out in Key West a few years ago.....bad!!!!

Theirs better deals than that out there if you look . We have picked up a few and turned them. My Fountain was one of the deals we found and I know I won't lose money on it.

looking st the cockpit, it looks like someone attempted to rerig it in a rather butchersome fashion... I looked at a profile a couple years ago, swear to god it looked like some kid who flunked shop class because he was so stoned, seriously jacked it up so be careful.... (were talking particle bloard dash and floor (bare) cheap pep-boys guages, then painted the unpreped hull with biglots .99 cent spray bombs)

would make a nice outdoor bar just add a pole on the bow
