i just dont get it apparently.is my boat ugly or something?i know it doesnt have alot of amenitys and its 12 years old but for 23k a guy could get into performance boating without signing his life away with a 15 year loan.

tell me the truth guys.i can take it.
why cant i sell this boat?

1989 webbcraft equalizer 28

Is this boat at Boats Unlimited?

A lot of people shy away from boats built by companies no loner in business to offer service and replacement parts. That and not many people have heard of Webbcraft. There was one around here for several years that had BIG power. And I mean BIG power. Faster than hell on a calm day. It was called "Out of Control" The name fit as I saw it. Had to have BIG huge ones to drive it as fast as he did.

it was till last week.now its up the road at mid missouri yacht brokers. boats unlimited didnt seam to be doing much so i moved it.

yes its very fast and OUT OF CONTROL at times.well fast to me anyways.it loves small chop.if the waves get to big it starts to chime walk pretty bad.scared me more then once.

If I remember correctly, it has bravos right? If not, that could be an issue also.

twin 502's (6 hours since rebuild on one , 200 hours on the other)
holley 750 double pumpers
bravo ones
freshly painted triple axial trailer (electric brakes)
new rub rail
new paint on rear of boat
trim tabs
drop out bolster seats
power engine hatch
finished cuddy cabin
4" thru hull stainless steel exhaust
preditor 4 blade stainless props

mpally , did you see it at boats unlimited

Ya, I saw it at BU. Was killing some time and looked around a bit. Seemed to be in very good shape.

it could use a few things but nothing major.rear seat vinyl is getting tired but that doesnt cost much.if i cant sell it i think ill update the dash with gaffrig gages and controls.

Looks sharp!
 

I think these type of boats (the so called "out of business companies") can be a great purchase for the individual who is not looking to trade up every 2 years.. My 2cents.

Hang in there!

thanks SinkorSwim

the only thing unique about boats is the hull.motors , drives , gauges , props , trailers are all made by other companys but i guess like you said alot of potential buyers may not know that.

My first boat was built by an "out of business" company also. Jason Boats of Tennesee (no idea what town). Traded it in on the Baja. Beat that boat senseless and broke just about everything in it but fixed it better than it was when it was new. It is now owned by a rental company in Holland, MI and I see it often. It looks awful.

BOATING 101: A TRUE COMEDY

AUTHER:WATERFUL:D

lotoparty, looks like a real nice boat! Someone will come along.

So,are you saying I tend to embelish a bit?? LOL!!! Actually, I've had a few things published in small, insignificant journals no one here has ever heard of!!! All at the pleading of a college english professor. I don't think I even have copies of any of it anymore. Was all stored on my old Mac from college. I still have the computer though. Maybe I should fire it up!! LOL!!!

can someone tell me what the deadrise is from this pic.i was asked if its 24 degrees but have no idea.

anybody know the deadrise? hell , i dont even know what the deadrise is or how to measure it.ok , i confess , just trying to get this post to page 1.:p

I would say that it would be a 24 degree, but that is just a guess. Who was the Webbcraft dealer at LOTO? You could call them, they should know.

Well, holding my protractor up to the screen, it appears to be about 22 degrees with a pad bottom. But it's kind hard to measure the small picture.

I usually only hold my protractor up to the screen when looking at porn sites:D

Ted, you need to turn the protractor right side up. You're measuring negative numbers! :eek: :eek: :D

No, just checking the angle of dangle:D :D :D

thanks for the protractor help guys.insptech , keep that thang away from my boat. ;)

Thats alot of boat for 23K.
Someone on the Chain-O-Lakes would love that bad boy!

Wow that seems like a great deal. Wish I had the cash.:) :)

thanks for the compliments guys.back to page 1.;)

We sold Nexus boats for two years back in 86-87, and they were owned by Brad Webb's son. I think he "borrowed" the molds from dad to start his own business...

Anyway, they built a 23, a 28 and a 35. We sold 1 23', 1 28 and 3 35' boats. The 28 was a decent boat as I recall, but the 35 seemed to sell better. They were cheaply priced and seemed to be built well(although I was only 16 at the time) The 35 was pretty fast and smooth...with 330s and TRS drives..I think it did about 65...which was fast for me a the time!

bump:p

hey thanks mxz800.

SOLD:D :) :(


and guess where the buyer came from? yep you guessed it OSO.
the new owner drove all the way from new orleans to buy her.very nice people.im sure they will enjoy her as much as i did.

it sucks to be boatless.:(

Hey, congrats to you and to the new owners!!

WOW, The top view of that thing looks a lot like my 28 cig
