Actually I have to agree, the boat is 26 years old?? What will it cost to get it on the water 25K - 35K and then what is it worth?? subtract the hassle of doing it. By the time you factor everything in you could go buy a complete boat that is newer

Newer and ready to go 29K asking ???

Aren't you a bit concerned that if they had the tools out and they took the engines/exhaust there may have been a reason they left the drives on there? That trailer is not worth 5K. It is wrapped with vinyl (interesting) and probably full of rust which is why the vinyl was added (to cover it).
I know of an Apache that was purchased extremely cheap a few weeks back. Boat sat for a long time but it came back to the marina on its own power albeit one of the drives was grenaded. The deal of a lifetime just about doubled in price after the drive was replaced and a few more issues were uncovered.
This boat is not going to break 55 mph with a pair of 454's and even though it appears nice in the pictures you could easily over-improve the value and have a boat no one wants (old, heavy, non step bottom, etc.)

The ask price on that boat is $29,900 and people that have them for sell, want to sell them. I think getting them to $25k shouldn't be too difficult.

Didn't a similar 12meter with a pair of hp500's sell for low 20's at National Liquidators about two months ago? Would be a nice old school ride when put back together but you'll definitely be upside down in it...

A friend in LOTO sold a mid 80's 40 Fountain with blower motors running and complete for $15K. It needed interior, cleaned/buffed, and didn't have a trailer.
I'd be at $10K-15K without looking at it. Engines could easily cost $10K/pair and $2K/pair for trans, plus misc and install. The drives...Good Luck. Parts could be tough to find and you may have to rebuild them.

I have looked all over this thread for mention of #3s or a pic and I'm just not seeing it. It must have been deleted.
