They Keys definitely need a performance boat shop, nobody wants to work on I/O stuff.

My bad, thought it was the same boat for a second

DrFeelgood 09-16-2022 04:44 AM

One owner for the last 36 years! You'd think they'd have a little more info about the boat with owning it all that time.

My mum used to say that but my old man told me, “If you can’t say anything nice, tell the truth!”
That’s probably why they ended up divorced. 🙂

Lets imagine the guy bought that boat when he was 40, that would make him 76 yrs old today. How savvy is a 76 yr old on the internet? (notice just 2 pics).
No idea what the market is on old mistresses but the asking price seems high especially if the boat is close to original.

Being in fresh water it's whole life is a big plus.

Plenty of savy 70-90+yr olds on the internet.

For corrosion, sure, but if it's been neglected it's even more likely to have rot than if it was salt water kept!

Or it could be the case of a nagging wife, her- "you should sell that boat" him- "well honey, i listed it but no one is buying"

Not that i want another project but how come i don't find these 500 bucks on marketplace/craigslist boats
it's running on the hose around 11 minutes. after they started it off the hose i didnt think it would pump.

They are cool now but back in the day I thought they were ugly.

my oldest brothers friend had one when they first came came out. Rode like crap and was cheaply built .

But I thought the same of Sidewinders and Glastron jet boats back in the day.

Hard to grow up with a well built 26 foot offshore boat in the early 70s and not think anything but were pieces of crap.

Project boat. engines and drives have never been taken out or replaced. Needs engines and drives to be rebuilt. Also needs new upholstery. Even has the original hoses from 1973.
It was last in the water in 2010.

This was my family boat in 1973-1979, I found it last year at Lake Mead and bought it back.
It has been in storage for the past 12 years, needs complete rebuild. It was last in the water in 2010.
Built by Don Aronow of Magnum Marine (Donzi, Cigarette, Magnum Marine ect).
Only 20 of these 25 sports were produced and this is the only green twin engine 25 Magnum ever built very rare.
Built in Miami and it spent its entire life on the west coast in fresh water.

In Cape Coral Florida in covered storage.
Includes 1977 trailer, in 2021 I spent $5,000 to rebuild the entire trailer. All new everything including 6 new tires. We recently trailered the boat from Nevada to Florida with no problem.

Great story but ummmmm no.

Powder Keg was easily the most restored Magnum ever on OSO and it was perfect and only like 39K or something ridiculous.

I'd love to the see the receipts on how he blew 5K restoring that trailer.

Speicher,

That Hustler is just shy of $2.2M, as advertised.

Speicher,

I did, too, at first. I had to look at it a couple times to make sure I was seeing it right, even counting out the digits.

They both see kinda nutz to me, price wise. But I’m also not in the financial market to even consider it, so what do I know?

Thanks. Brad.

Cheech,

Can’t say as I’d disagree, but $200K seems pretty low, too. 🤷‍♀️

No 200 K for a Hustler with old tech 1075's would be closer to market for that.

speicher lane 10-19-2022 04:08 PM

yellow 50' Hustler is still listed ( posted back in 2015 - when it was only a 9yr old Hustler) on powerboatlistings for $185K

part-out candidate maybe... probably have to pay to get rid of the hull though as I doubt you'll find someone wanting to buy it bare.

Not sure there is 9K worth of parts there. Looks like it has been wet.

Yup, it's questionable at best. If there's one running motor, 2 good drives, and a usable trailer, you might make a couple bucks. I wouldn't do it, but I've got my hands full at the moment anyway.

The drives have crappy skeg "repairs." The trailer probably very rough from salt water.

HOW absolutely stupid must you be to spell the make of boat wrong when it's literally printed on the trailer and boat itself multiple times? Cobalt isn't even a hard word.... Sheesh.
