did anyone see the red and white 30 in cromwell?
Had two buddies look at it and walked away from it.
Both said it was very rough.
Nice trailer but big question marks on the power bascially a Gamble

I was told that a spring perch broke on the old trailer, Went right thru the hull?
Anyone else heard this story.
This would explain the new trailer. I know how druable these hulls are since we managed to destroy one just like it so I am sure it dint go all the way thru but sounded like it was bad.
This boat used to sit right next to ours years ago. looked pretty good back then but had an OLD SCHOOL look to it with the center bow rail etc.

Its a project car I bought.
I have 2 others and I always kicked myself for selling my vert when I bought my house. So after searching for a car for 6 years with clean floors and truck pan I am now selling it.
It needs some work.
But that was all I wanted in a car.
I was going to do another turbocharged 455 with TH400 and a 12 bolt so drive train wasn't important.
Its on hartford CT craigslist for $8750.00
Had lots of interest so far.
It needs 1/4's and fenders, I have (1) 1/4 hung, The other Is off the car, And I have (1) Driver side Goodmark fender.
Engine runs but the previous owner says he dumped two stroke fuel in it and it smokes. I didnt care I was gonna yank it anyway, Th 350 Is slushy(havent even checked the fluid level yet) woulda yanked that too.LOL
The money youd save in rotiserie work to the floors and trunck makes the car worth the money easy.
I have done 25 of these cars in the past.
Its a PITA to do floors and they rarely get done well.
most cars I look at are all hacked in the floors
Even if they do A patch panel is always a patch panel so clean original floors is a must when I buy a bird.

Thanks I really love the boat and hate to sell it but I gotta get the addition built.
I got 4 emails on it today alone.
We'll see ow things go.
After I get the addition built I'll just have to work twice as hard to buy another sutphen down the road I guess.
I think I would look for another OB boat too.
I was always I/O guy but I like the OB's better. everything is just easier with them , theres more room in the boat and it acts like abigger aboat with the stand off boax and all.
It will be a sad day for the whole family when this one goes away.
