add a 3k engine ,2k drive, 1k interior, 1k of incidentals, and 2k trailer and you have a $11k 20 year old boat that might sell for 9-10k if your lucky .. Welcome to the new reality..

It says in the ad it's a "project boat."

I probably wouldn't buy it unless I had the skills to finish it, or, just wanted an entry level boat.

If I had a way to get it here, I'd buy it!

I'd love to have it!

We could use it for our SAR team as another resource, and between the team members we probably have the resources and ability to complete it for considerably less than that above figure (assuming the hull is in good shape?)

For someone who is not in a hurry and cash strapped for a big purchase at one time, this would be a great bargain (IMO)

I have one that already has all new stringers, bulkheads, transom, and floors, on a trailer and I can't give it away. I was looking for a grand just to get something for the trailer and a bit for the hull. Like you said someone special has to be looking.

Tank if you knew what I just paid for my Formula you would crap. That was with a pair of 420hp 454's. All it was missing was the drives.
