project boat?
 

With the spare time of the summer, looking for something to keep me busy. Anyone know of any decent project boats around? Any ideas on where to look? Looking for old Aronow boat, old Check Mate, Baja, etc. Looking to spend less than 1000 on boat and trailer initially, with or without power.

Thanks,
Tommy

GOOD LUCK STUD....:):)

Thanks new dad.

Tommy, Team Baja can hook you up, and with a little help from Too Old you can be big pimpin with this thing:crazy:

under a $1000 is going to be tough. Especially for a name brand boat. and forget about with a trailer. Beside any trailer taht you get witha hull for $1000 you arne;t goign to want to tow on eth road.

19' bayliner was mine. I made $6500 (profit) when i sold that boat, but then again i got the boat for free :D

Is that for sale? 175? Where are you at and when can I pick it up?

Tommy, Keep an eye out on E-Bay also check out www.projectboats.net , these two boats are listed on there. Good luck.

#2 23' Formula asking price $1400

What kind of boat is #1? thanks. I couldn't find it on the site. where exactly is it listed? TIA

Jim

The first boat is a 28' 1969 Alim Step V ? it looks like a magnum to me, it's on e-bay, now.

Kirk

I cant get that link to work, could you try to get me the email addy on the Formula?

Too Old, I will check there, thanks.

Tommy

Too Old, could you post a link also?

Today I decided I am not going to drop a 350 into the boat...the motor will be mine and all the maintence, but the boat will still be parents so I would have to listen to them :(

That's probably a better idea than you think. I remember being sure I knew more than my parents when I was 17. I don't know when I forgot everything, but I am sure I don't know everything at age 47.

Thanks KN, I was able to get on that site and saw the info. Never heard of Alim but that boat is older than me. The freeboard resembles the magnum but the chines I believe are different. Thanks for the info bro.

Jim

If I were to talk dad into loaning me some $, does anyone think they could haul that formula to a boat yard that charges decent prices for storage for a month or so until I could come down there?

Tommy

Tommy, you don't sell a Formula of that size for that price with out a damn good reason. That boat is junk or it's stripped. Either way, you don't have enough money to finish it. You'll sink alot of time and money into the project and then it will sit. It will sit for years until you either scrap it or sell it for a loss. I know, because I sold a boat that was just like that for the same price. Fred's suggestion is a much, much better idea. The boat is small and affordable. It's simple and something that you can learn from. Remember, you must take the baby steps before you can walk or run.

Cord, Catmando said the same thing last night in the chatroom, after adding up motor/drive/interior/gauges/bolsters, etc, it is a bit more than I will have in the next few years.
ps-do you still have the blazer?
Tommy

Yes, but there is absolutly no pressure or commitment.

I have a 1990 33' fountain ex navy seal boat no trailer 2,500.00 w/title
