Bring $3,000 and take it apparently nobody understands
The meaning of OBO means

Ain't trying to make a living of this dude just trying to brake
Even or take a small lost. I want dump some cash on
a newer vessel i got my eyes on. If would found this thread
Before i bought the boat i would've never bought it.
Unfortunate for me by the time i saw this thread the boat
Was already in my hands. But somebody will buy it sooner or later.
Or i'll just sink it. LOL

I know how much Jo had told you to fix the boat and by the time you rigged it out with a single you would have between 40 to 45K invested in it , Is that about what you figured ?
For some people building a boat in little steps and paying as you go is the only way they'll ever have a nice boat . I've done it both ways and there's a certain appreciation when your out showing off a boat you built from a bare hull .
However If you have to contract out the majority of the work because you can't do it yourself then you wind up having so much money (ie the 45K) that there's no way you can come out ahead .
There's been way to many turn key 28's in the 25-40K range .
Now for me I could buy a 5K hull and splash it only having 25k in the build and know exactly what I have as opposed to buying somebody else's turn key boat that you know is gonna need something to make it the way you want it ....

Trash to Treasure is not for everyone . You have to be able to do the entire project yourself . And I believe this hull will always have a black cloud over it due to the fact it use to be a swimming pool !

WAIT A MINUTE , AN ABOVE GROUND PANTERA SWIMMING POOL .......THERE'S SOMETHING THAT HASEN'T BEEN DONE YET !

Yard art ...plant a tree in it. We could put christmas light on it. I have spent 3 grand on worse things.

Put a wheel and throttles in it.
Pit on blocks in the backyard and let the kids play pretend racer.
Better than a jungle gym.

On a serious note. I would consider it because at least you know your starting from scratch. Remove the deck and go for it. It probably would not make sense money wise to go that far with it. I know what I paid for my transom and rear part of stringer replacement . Quality work definetly not cheap. How much to re rig this boat ? I bet it would be 50 grand

way too much!

i bet your right in the ballpark at that number, if not even more.

dude figured that out after he bought it and talked to someone that knows and now it's time for the "double your money" flip.

$45-$50 sounds right to me to sub out labor & buy parts.
That would be well equipped with modest power & drive.

Somebody will buy this boat in due time.....
But it'll def always have a rainy cloud hanging over its name.
There's just some boats that get known for certain things. This one just happens to be known for being a frog pond.

EBay.....honest description & it'll sell either to somebody looking to build exactly what they want, or somebody with stars in their eyes.

I still can't believe some person bought this boat after it has been all over this web site....

No work needed on this one.... http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/boa/3304426095.html
