OOPS...in the first picture there was ( been deleted ) u could see the #3's !

But your buddy ....15 K ..wow, thats crazy !!!

To me when you are buying a project boat like this you have to value it like you could walk away from it when you find a big problem.

To me, I could throw 5K at it and if it looks like the point of no return it becomes a 5K scrap project. Too many unknowns on this age of boat, is the transom/stringers rotted, fuel tank leaking, is the trailer any good, are the drives (no matter what the make) usable. This is a boat you can only do a limited survey on, however if it was a boat that I could drive for 10 minutes then it takes a lot of guessing out of the purchase.

Unless the buyer has a pair of running engines and a killer set of tools (and the knowledge and time to use them) this boat is going to be a loser. Anyone remember the guy Jay that bought a running Apache used it a couple times then stripped it for a restoration/re-rig only never to get the boat wet again or that guy in California that dumped crazy money into that old Scarab/Excalibur only to have a 1/2 finished boat that he has 15-20K into but has NEVER run. This boat is one of those projects!

the picture link to my photobucket got screwed up i will repost the pictures in the morning

Seems like a nit of work and more money than its worth unless you enjoy up and down and up and down fixing and fighting. Its worth 30 as a complete boat. PM me for pics of mine and Ill Give you a test ride with trailer surface drives and fast.

If you are thinking about this, I will share alittle info, I took on a major project, I am still in the works of getting it on the water. For the the amount of money I currently have into it, I could have purchased a very nice and newer bigger boat. For me, it was different as this is exactly what I want in style of boat, and I am doing everything the way I like it, I am still almost 10k away from being done, and that does not include interior! Just dropping in a set of engines never goes how you think it will in your head!

I also look at a purchase like this as to what the boat will part-out for. The reason being, if at some point another deal comes up that I want, I can always get my money back in parts i.e. drives, gimbals, controls, engines, trans, hull, and trailer. There will always be people out there that believe they can buy a cheap hull and rig it themselves to save a bunch of money.

Strange.Its a 1984.What institution would have loaned money for this boat?Even several years ago.

I can buy the boat cheap I think just got the call.....

I think i will buy it and just resale it the way it is....

Does anyone think i would have a problem gettin 11-12k for it
