Buying a boat just to be one of those guys who owns a boat that doesnt run for years doesnt make sense to me.
A nice running boat is a stupid enough thing to buy, financially speaking. That boat..... My boat blew up and I spent over 20 grand getting it back in the water and still lost almost a whole summer. But I did everything right and had the motor built by top marine guys in Canada, had the drive done by a top guy and did alot of the 'little' stuff myself. You will spend 20-50 grand getting that boat back in top condition if you do it right. |

Ahhhhh.... enough w/ your common sense already!:lolhit:
I dont comment much or post much but I have a bit of knowledge on this subject lol. I have seen that happen alot on these boards. Guy buys boat...all pumped for what he is going to 'do'....realizes what he got himself into...boat is for sale 9 months later. Buying the boat is the cheap and easy part. Getting it running and then KEEPING it running is the tough part. How many times have we heard of a guy on these boards buying some boat and then blowing it up the FIRST time out and then having BS problems with engines, gremlins and all the rest and losing time and money and hair. I would just hate to see that happen to SLP. My advice to him is what it has always been. Buy a boat that is nice, runs, leaks down well and has good history. Have 20k tucked away for when the grenade detonates. Rinse...Repeat. I nearly bought a 28 apache that had sunk. The owner knew but never disclosed. I got it surveyed and voila. Saved myself alot of money and heartache. Doubled my budget and bought F1-71 which is one of the better single engine pantera's. Drove to Ohio 3 times. Met the owner, engine builder Tony Bischoff who did a leakdown test with me in the bilge with him and got it surveyed. |
