IS THIS ...ferr reel?...and is it a DEAL ??...
 

Hey ....major newbie here ...and a newbie also to offshore stuff. I know a-little about V-drives and shovel-nose hydros though.

You are saying that boat could have been bought for 28 ? .... how much did that boat sell-for new? ... how much would a boat like this sell for NEW now ?

Fking' UGLY carcass

GETTING over a hang-over ? ..

Pay no attention to the boatless man behind the keyboard. :lolhit::evilb:

That 32 Skater was in Ga a year ago for sale for 50k, my buddy was going to buy it, till we went for a sea trial and the boat woukd not get on plane, and the owner Drilled the ramp with the #5skeg:eek: Boat needed a lot of work to make it right.

Keep in mind its also 20 years old, thats old for a boat.

That boat sold for $25k as a repo last year and has changed hands a bunch of times since so something must not be right, and no its not a deal

The boat was here on Lake Norman. Changed hands at least 2 or 3 times in the last year or so. Sold in SC last year as a repo for I believe low 20's with one bad motor. New owner fixed the engine, painted boat, and installed new interior. I have not seen the boat since it was fixed, but I would call the original condition rough. Jeff Wurl

This is for you Paul!!!! However I should have bought it from Lab marine for 28 k !!! Looj at what you sold your boat for ( 32 b that was perfect in every way , 10 k int ) and know that 32 , kind of my point . Paint it all straight up white toner , I think that paint is hurting sale :drink:

Hay guyz ...lighten UP on this newbie !! ...LOL ... and THX for the constructive and genuine comments.

This seller "claims" that the boat will run 140 PLUS ...and it won't get-up on plane ? .. again I am no Xpert here .. but with one motor completely DEAD ...and the drive just-dragging ...shouldn't this boat run 70 or so?

And this seller is a "dealer" .... and with the internet ... his name has to be "mud" by now.

A 20 year old boat is "old" ? ... you should see my Stevens shovel-nose ...it is a 1973 !

Hey guys
The 32 that Rick is selling is no where near the condition it was in when auctioned etc..He is a friend of mine and the boat is about 2 miles from me. Besides being a dealer he has been involved in offshore for well over 30 years having worked on thunderboat row in the heyday and raced for many. He is a very honest guy who stands behind what he sells.
The boat has been to Guardado to have the tanks re-done as well as a bunch of touch up. BOTH motors have been gone through, rigging has been re-done and both drives gone trhough.
As for the colors etc, it is what it is but I don't think it's fair to trash the boat on the boards.

Happy New Year
Paul

If the owner wants this boat to sell, he really should come on OSO and talk about the boat. There seems to be alot of people who know the boat and its history. If the boat has really had all this work done and now runs "140", he needs to back this stuff up so to bad history is cleared up. Its a really cool boat, but its getting alot of bad press, if its ready to run now, he needs to explain so this boat gets a fair chance! JUST MY .02

Ditto ..... the boat turned out awesome and pics don't do it justice , and Eddie G doing the re-do is a BIG thumbs up :drink::drink::drink:
carry on

So what's this thing really worth? Not worried about paint...

i guess the big question is does it get on plane now?

Mega dittos ....maybe runningHOTair can answer it ...

Hotair? Twenty five posts? This could be entertaining :lolhit:

PBJ .... and that is TWENTY SEVEN POSTS .... and the QUESTIONS still stand.....

...and Harrison TWP ? ..Lake SC ? .....candy-@$$ compared to Lake Meeechigan ...

OK shooter. Good to know you can count. Best memory of lk. MI is water coming over the bow on the idle out of Grand Haven, or was it that time in Traverse or Charlevoix? Ya ever been to Huron? Erie? Your not gonna find a candy ass here so keep looking newbie... :drink:

Shooter ? ...I am a NEWBIE ..Big Shot. All I am here is asking questions ...and some here are just blowing-smoke.

...and I am up by TC and C-voix. I am no Xpert ... but from what I have seen ... Huron and Erie are CANDY-ASS compared to MI .... and MI is candy-ass compared to Lake Superior.

YOUR thoughts ? ..... BIG SHOT.

LET ME add ... pick-apart ? ...talk chit about ?? ... WHERE have I done this? ...I am interested in the boat and am ON HERE to ask questions .....

I was intitially told that this boat was a POS. It sure didn't look-like-that to me. I have asked some what-I-think-to-be VALID questions .... and I think the paint-scheme is just fine.

I would greatly appreciate someone answering these questions for me ....if you can.

lol winters here

Agreed!!!! makes you wonder why.....

Snowin up there? lol :kiss:

The most wonderful time of the year :lolhit:

Here's what I think the boats worth:

Hull and trailer $20-25k
Drives/boxes/steering $15k
Motors/trannies/exhaust $25k

So your looking at around $65k if you want to keep it the way it is, but if you want to start changing paint and interior this isn't the boat for you because no matter what you do to it, it will never bring $100k.

THX 302 .... AT LEAST there is ONE straight-shooter here ! .... winter time and snow ? ... MANY of the answers to this topic can-be-accused of being JUST THAT... LOL ...

But there are a couple of Q's that still remain. Can anyone else help me with those ?

The boat was bought in good shape running strong roughly 4 yrs ago for around 80k in Lake Norman. The guy took good care of it but in the end had motor issues and let it go to repo.

Im sure the reason it didnt get on plane was do to the motor issues, if they have since been rebuilt, im sure its good to go. With 2 running motors, the boat gets on plane fine, and although i never rode in it, i have friends who did, and i believe the boat will run 135-140mph

When my Friend was looking at that boat he contacted the previous owner in SC, He said the boat ran 140.When we test rode it here in Ga, the owner was Very Arrogant, I asked him how much boost the motors pulled, he replied we don't look at the gauges when running in the Ocean...Wtf, he said you guys here in your pond (Lake Lanier) might, but we don't. He then proceeded to drive the boat over the concrete ramp,gouging the #5 Skeg and bent the prop.....I was laughing my ass off!!

i believe your talking about the guy who bought the boat from the Repo lot, what i know about the boat is pre repo

Great Story LOL !!! :lolhit:

SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY NEEDS A HUG !!!!!!:party-smiley-004:

for him anyways LMFAO :lolhit:
