USAuctions (EBay)
Anyone looking at the 357 coming to Ebay soon? it's listed at USAuctions now... I've been waiting on a description for about 2 months now! I'm thinking it was submerged in the tidal surge of the hurricane.
What drives are those?
And what's a good bid? I'm going to miss the end of the auction so I want to put a livable bid before I leave.

It would be nice to have more of a description on it. I''d out of the market now but would be curious to know how much it went for. I just bought this thing a few months ago. (Looking forward to next summer).

man I just love that look!!!
I'm going to only bid assuming the drivetrain(s) need a complete rebuild, The interior needs a complete once over, the electronics/electrics are shot and/or problematic, there are places needing new wood, and it needs new paint. Never fails anyway, learning from my last 2 boats (smaller scale projects). I actually have a lot of fun rebuilding and get a whole lot more satisfaction.
So... I'm thinking this way. What's the hull worth? add a couple dead engines/drives... that's my bid. Any $ ideas based on that? 10-15k?

Personally, I wouldn't be brave enough to buy a 17 year old boat with no survey off of an ebay picture. But, you could get a great deal.
If it helps mine had $24,000 spent on the engines 81 hours ago. It's an '85. I had it surveyed and is solid but in need of lots of TLC and little things like switches, new carpet bulbs, bilge pump, etc. etc. nothing major. I paid $31,000 for it with the trailer (which needs some work also). So, you could say I spent less than $7,000 for the hull.

That's a hell of a deal!!! I really like those low profile blowers!!! Did you get full engine specs? Have you had it out yet?
Oops... I just read your other post. 76 is pretty damn good!!!
