Smart move?
Starting to think things over here.......I acquired this boat for free because I am going to a school next year where I will be learning about marine engines, and other stuff related to that. Even with the school, I will still have to pay for materials, parts, and whatever I will need. As much as I love this boat, at this point, i have been thinking about selling it as a project boat for someone with the money and time to bring it back to its glory, as it is a rather old boat...1984.
We are talking about a boat that will need a new floor, change to bravo setup, new wiring most likely, full interior, and much more.....at the end, its pretty costly.
Its quite a project for a beginner, and I would rather find a small go-fast project boat in close to running condition that will need less work then the Stinger.
I think this would be a smart move.

I think it was the dream of the completed Stinger.....but alas , reality is setting in.....Do exactly what your heart tells you to do Sam and you will NEVER have any regrets . Study hard and work even harder always with an eye on the prize . People who aren't dreamers in one way or another never will amount to a pint of sour owl pizz , will have nothing but envy and will never contribute or accomplish a damn thing short of standing in the cheese line . I have a feeling you will do well and if i were well to do i'd just buy you a decent Cigarette to get you started ............i got your back young gun..

That sounds like a great idea.....maybe thats what the guy with the Stinger felt like doing....give the dreamer something to get started with............now he's thinking of selling it.

Buy that baja in the swap section & piece a motor together or if u can get the bbc in the stinger running throw that in the baja. U can have a nicer boat for less $ & be on the water this summer
