good looking boat. If you bought it right and take your time to rig it right it will be very cool. Be aware that its gonna cost some bucks and a couple of years to complete, but nothing good comes easy.

Thanks. I figure about the 25-30 ish range at my cost. Plus I own a custom car/truck shop in the Danbury CT area http://evb.cc. Plus my good friend own's a mariana that sells Sunsation boats and he will help out with mechanical stuff were I get lost. I hope to have it done by mid to the end of the summer of next year. I will try to take photos on the project, but the north
east is a bit tough in the winter. Jim

This boat has only 250 hrs on it. Also it has been in dry dock for 20+ years I was told. The old owner had plan to do a full resto job on and make into a fishing boat. I think that would have been some kick ass fishing boat. Over the years he has pile up some list of parts tons of stuff new in box still. So I hope this will be a easy project will all the new parts. Next week I hope to pull the motors/drives/trans/gimbles. The only major thing I see that there was some rot uner the helm area that was getting choped out and I hope that all the rot. It still needs more chopping. Pics of the work in progress soon . Jim
