Hi All,,,I'm a new member & must say I luv the site !!!

I grew up on the water and have been building,repairing & boating most of my life but have never owned a 24/7 or 24/8,,,So now I am actively searching (with shallow pockets) for a project boat that I can do a twin outboard conversion on,and take a year or two rebuilding...

I'm curious as to what is out there that isn't being advertised ???

I have also come across an 1986 Corsa 26' "Rainmaker" that was a raced with a single outboard which I am leaning heavily towards buying...Any chance any one has any knowledge about this boat ??? Daredevil throttle man owns the boat and seems like a great guy and I hope to be finalizing the deal in a couple of weeks when I finish splashing the rest of my customers boats...

Thanks all for your help & for building an awesome site !!!

Oh if I posted in the wrong section please let me know which section I should post in...Thanks again !!!

Thanks,

Unfortunately I have WAY too much into it to let it go for less than $10,000, at that I would be taking a huge loss, but kinda expected that when I built it, had my fun, and still having fun but want a little rocket now(STV or similar)
