Considering something STUPID!

Since the wife expressed on our last outing that she wants a boat with a small cabin and a port a potti in it, I did the unthinkable and started looking for a bigger boat. The bad part is I think I found one I REALLY want. Came across a 75 FORMULA 233 cuddy that had a complete refit done in 07 with new stringers, deck and transom according to the current owner, and he is now selling it without the outboard. It already has a full transom with a bracket on it, but no trailer. He's asking $3500 and it's been for sale for awhile now at that price. And then I found a set of 04 250 EVINRUDES complete from keys to engines with one powerhead having 1000 hours and the other one has 200 hours on a factory powerhead and they both have warranty until 2011 for $6500 for the pair. Only problem is after buying the wife her PONTIAC G6 a few months back I am about broke:nut: and don't have the money right now to get em. I need to just shut my internet off so I can't keep finding deals like this:arrr:.

Here's the boat.:hide:

Don't you already have a 1984 V20 CC?

We have a porta potty in our CC, it fits nicely in the cavity.

However, I haven't had to use that "facility" yet so I can't comment about how comfortable it is.

It is absolutely hilarious when an adult has to use the porta-potti in my V20 cuddy because you have to close the door but open the hatch for headroom. Just seeing someone looking around out the hatch but knowing what they are doing just busts me up every time.
 
My V-20 is a project boat and will be up for sale here soon as I just don't have the time to do it. This one was origanally an I/O and the floor was raised up to add in scuppers and make it self bailing. The plan was too buy the hull and the 2 engines and then re-sell one of the 250's to offset the costs, but some have gone with twin 250's and say they have reached mid 70's for speeds:oh:. If I can sell my HYDRA-SPORTS I'd buy this one, but I simply don't have the money right now to do it.
 
i feel you pain ,ferm. there are so many deals out there right now, it is hard to watch em go buy. i keep reminding myself 4 boats is enough...
 
Ferm, i know where a project(and I do mean project) 23 SeaCraft Scepter is cheap. Needs floor and transom, allready cut out and waiting
 
It's an 84 V-20 cuddy cabin with the factory full transom for a sea-drive. The transom has delaminated from where the previos owner replaced the drain plug sleeve with a garboard plug and didn't seal the wood core, and the deck is soft around the in floor storage box. I'm going to yank the sea-drive off of it as it only has 4 hours break in time on it since I built it. It has the windshield, bow rail, and port side storage seat in it. As well as one of the drop in bins is still there in the back.
 
Does it have a trailer? If it has a trailer what would you let the hull and trailer go for? I'm toying with the idea of selling the center I have and looking for a FULL cuddy rebuild.

Theres a atrailer under it now, but I didn't really want to sell it. I was wanting $250 for the hull complete minus the sea-drive unit(going to part it out as I have quite a bit of money in the rebuild on it). I called the guy on the FORMULA and will probably head over tommorrow to look at it and see it in person. It isn't a complete rebuild like he said in the email, he redid the rear 1/3 of the deck and replaced the transom as well as added in knee braces he said. He told me the rest of the boat was solid and he saw no reason to mess with it. I also found an older 23 SEACRAFT SCEPTRE for $7K that is re-done with a newer 225 JOHNSON looper and an aluminum trailer.
