Artie, call me tomorrow if you get a free minute

Oh....and boat came from LOTO. Got about 100 hrs here, then stripped it....rebuild as described above. More pics tomorrow 930.....

Rich what ya gonna get if you sell the formula?

Are you sure the 311 is sold.

It has been listed all winter for 20g and just updated the ad three days ago.

That Fountain in Calif. looks great and there's a 38' Scarab in the OSO classifieds for $38K great deal for that boat and its got a trailer. Looks like some of the best deals are out West.

I'm pretty sure he talked to him, maybe it wasn't that one???

Damnit Ryan, chime in! My PM box keeps filling up :lolhit:

I think Ryan is on his way to Erie PA......

I did call the ad in Milwaukee this morning, the person who answered said they have it sold.
Thanks for the heads up on all the boats. I've seen quite a few of them, and made some phone calls. I really like formula boats and am talking to an OSO member with a really nice looking 311. Feel free to pm me with stuff to give Artie's pm box some relief. 30k + tax and transport is the absolute limit of what I'm willing to put into it right now, I need to save some money to throw in the fuel tanks this summer! Stuff that's over or is 30 without wheels isn't likely to work.
Thanks!

There he is! :cartman:

The NO POWER aspect of it will surely save the buyer some gas money. :(

This 31 ecxel has to be about the most boat you can buy for 20k, if its as nice as it looked. Honestly I had forgotten about it. Probably should at least call and get some info

I agree 100%, I can't believe there hasn't been more chatter about it.

I figured since the buyer was not concerned about speed, maybe add some 502 mags and be only slightly over budget. Not to mention be in a plush riding 42!

I called about the 31 Ecxel and got pics..... Cockpit area is perfect, Cabin area is ruined (they estimated 2500 to repair/redo), exterior looks great from 50' away but has several scratches & scapes in paint, damaged rub rail in back both sides, dents in swim platform both sides.
I passed on it, but only cause I liked my other option better.....

Damn that boat is clean!

If I wasn't already locked in to close on a boat this week, I would be all over this Sonic. I have a pair of 565's laying around that would push this one easily. Seems like you always find the "Best deal around" right after you bought a "good deal". DAMNIT!!!

It has a cabin, it's just not finished off.
Everything is there like a standard 31

Its under contract and deposit as of weds (yesterday).

What's up with the cabin? Has the boat been under?

The Sutphen is mine, PM me I will make a good deal for it.

old 40' fountain on facebook for $27500 no trailer or I think 32 with

Don't think it was ever under. Just wore out, tore up..... probably just abused in a past life. Looks like last owner was own the right track by the way he did cockpit. Just never got to the inside.

Link?

If you are on Facebook, its in the Powerboat Swap Shop.

This looks like a great deal!

from the one picture I think this guy is a member on OSO

That 33 Donzi is a great deal

Got my claws on a divorce sale scarab.....tooooo sweet to miss.....but can't bankroll it without additional funs (miss-spell intentional)

Commander, I'd love to see some pics of that project and the final results if you have any. Your pm box was full.

Bck we gonna get you in the water this year? the shop will be clearing out in april to get everyone going for the summer!

The minute I can get it out of storage work starts.

That is S022mag's old boat. He upgraded this winter...

How about a Scarab Panther.

Agreed..... That's about 25k under loan value. Even with a firm 30k budget, I believe I would just have to borrow 4k from a friend :whistle:

Def get some pics of of your formula. I sent ya a text about but info known life is busy.

The formula would make an awesome project for someone. Ryan passed because it's a little more than he wants to do right now.

There is nothing for the buyer to do.

All parts there......just needs to be put together and I am doing it for the thirty in 30 days or I knock 10k off. Hard to shut the shop down for it, and it will totally clog the shop if I pull it in.

Pics here in a few minutes.....
