brochure boat we believe...

yeah C I really dont think you could go wrong with this boat. It was just too big for me to tow to lake champlain every season and I really liked the OB boat or I would have bought it myself.

did you try Gregs outboard service at the number above? I know he has Johns number and hes a good freind of mine so he will hook you up Im sure.

WOW! .. 7200 lbs. for a 38' Sutphen pleasure boat?

i got through on ebay, so no...however, I haven't heard back yet...peculiar?...I'll try the other numbers tomorrow.....must be inundated with offers...

My take on it has always been that John doesnt REALLY want to sell that badly.

I think John has been "selling" that boat for years now... If it's on ebay, it sounds like he's ready to move it. Any news Christian?

Just talked to him today, have to go to Portland to pick up a new used Alpha upper (had a little issue yesterday), and he said I can stop by and check it out in Old Saybrook on Tues or Weds. Just need to call him first...I want to go through it, etc slowly and quietly...we'll see.

I'm glad to hear you touched base with him. I didn't know if the boat was still in OS or not at this point. He's a pretty straight up guy and mechanically knows his stuff so having him there might not be a bad thing, just let him know you want to go over it with a fine tooth comb ahead of time so he knows what to expect when you meet... The boat needs a little TLC, but overall it's in decent shape given the age and usage.

GL!

Thanks Scott,
I agree, we talked about if we did our own work or farmed it out...I'm sure he and I'll be able to come to an arrangement if and when the time comes....

anyone ever deal with Affordable Marine?..i need an Alpha upper, 1.5 or 1.47 ratio, regular rotation....gen 1 M/R...

Christian,

I have a brand new one with a damage lower, it's been in the back of the shop in a merc box for a while, I will dig her out and check the ratio for you.
