Although I don't expect 50+, 45 would be more realistic. I paid $3000, It needed a impeller in the alpha 1.


nice find for the money, that boat has some potential.

Good luck, I have been looking for about the same thing for a few years now and I am willing to go as small as 18ft for the right one. Just want something for the river to leave at the dock for when I get out there.

I've seen a few Baja Sport 220-240's for 5k and under. Several 233 Formula's also. Pachanga 22's are a good score too. Check allofcraigs.com

Wouldn't be a bad looking boat if it wasn't pink

Couple of shaker cans will fix that.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm 50/50 on a used cheap boat vs a running 15k one.

buddy of mine. I know the drive is rebuilt, cant really attest to the condition or say its a good boat or not but I know he selling you can probably get him down a little more.
