This boat recently sold for $4,000, was this a deal for someone or is this boat damaged beyond repair?

holy freakn hole batman!!! :eek: lets see....no drives/gimbals/transome plates.....no tabs but backing plates.......some hydraulic steering there...no engines, even though it shows a pic of the bottom end of one.. :confused: ....and one BIS ASS FREAKN HOLE!!!
Not sure as to whats left in the cockpit and interior...but that looks like a hell of alot of work! He MAY be able to part it out and break even.....but i dont know.........would Fountain sell a bare bottom hull???

Judging by the size of the HOLE in it I'm sure it was a submarine for a while so whatever is left inside has probably suffered some form of water damage. :eek: :eek:

MAN... I WONDER WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THAT THING?
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED??

A friend of mine, in 1999? after watching fireworks off the Queen Mary in Long Beach, hit an unmarked barge mooring bouy. There were a couple of serious injuries but everyone is fine.

G

looks to me that anything of value has probably been stripped from this one.

That would be one helluva project to put back together - and even if you did the work, is it worth it??

I put this in the category of "labor of love" for this particular boat - otherwise you are gonna spend a lot of money on a part time job and work your full time job just to pay for your part-time job.

but then again - isn't that what all the racers on this board do??
