'86 Cuddy w/200 Merc

Dragged this old girl home today from Folly Beach SC. Got to meet in person Reelapeelin' and Spareparts, both great guys, wish we could have hung out longer, maybe drank some beers and told lies. Maybe when the weather warms up, it was COLD as !@#$ for this Georgia boy with this crazy storm moving in.

Spare, I know why you like those Yamahas, cause its all they have up there! Passed I bet 4 or 5 boat dealers and everything new was rigged with a yamaha 200 fourstroke.

Reel, if you ever want to sell that Float On trailer let me know.

I think I may have a problem. I presently have 3 Wellcrafts, Two V20's and a V18. And 3 V20 hulls, two Wellcrafts and a Chaparral 21. The Chaparral looks like what would result if a Wellcraft V20 and a Seacraft Seafari got it on. V20 hull, Seafari style cap and cuddy, but with a 3 piece windsheild instead of the 2 piece.

I'm gonna get some parts off this one and then put her back up for sale. Main things I'm needing are the bowrail, helm and cable, deck hinges, teak cuddy trim and sliding hatch. I know thats a lot of parts when you think of the stuff already removed before she came to me, but maybe if someone was gonna do something different; crazy cut down go fast, custom stretched V25, or a crab boat. LOL!

If anyone is interested from here I'll make you a deal and possibly include a trailer too if you need one.

Everyone should have a few extra boat trailers around ya know.

there are 11 small boat(< 40ft) dealers in this area. Each one carries at least three lines. To my knowledge,there are only four boat lines(Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Trophy, Bayliner) and three dealers(Hall Marine, Duncan's, Berkely Outdoors) that sell new Mercurys(6 authorized service dealers). Each of those dealers also sell Yamaha, with a corresponding boat line. Every dealer in town sells and services Yamaha, there is one dealer that stocks new Suzuki's(5 service centers), and no new boat dealer that sells E-tecs(two service centers). If you look in the dry stacks around here, it looks like a Yamaha add

It was great to meet you...sounds like ya got plenty of fiberglass around...hope I can come visit some time and feast my eyes on that purdy one you told me about!!:sly:
 
Late to the fiesta again.. I just found this post again. I really appreciate you thinking about me. I have no interest in the rub rail. I appreciate the offer to no end, Reel and Bradford, but I am just not ready for a project or even collecting parts at this juncture. LOL!
I am going to coast with what I have and try and maintain my old stuff until I have time to use it properly.
I just hate that another hull may end up at the landfill.. Sucks that that motor popped on ya Reel.
Bradford, I got it bad, you got it worse.. way worse..
