Gotta be a '79-'80 or newer...25" transom and raised cap...does it have scuppers and a 60 gal. tank?... :)...look at the starboard transom, under the rub-rail...see any numbers?...last two are year model...on most any production boat...unless it's transom got rebuilt...

High bow-rail...must be after-market as it comes down on the pulpit...nice job on both... :D...

Yea, the scuppers are actually where the problem originated, there wasn't a complete seal and you can see the rot right in there. It looks like they tried to fix it, but didn't do a hell of a job.

Here is a picture of the scuppers

listen to me dont do it
you can get a better boat and it would still need work
i have a 1978 steplift and am constantly working on it and it doesnt need anything

Re: Question on Boat Purchase (Now With Pics on Pg

RULE #1 when looking for a boat to buy: DON'T fall in love w/anything til AFTER you buy it...easy to say...hard to do, but let your common sense and practicality take over as you look around... ;) :)...leave the emotions at home...take the "game-face" w/you...
 
Re: Question on Boat Purchase (Now With Pics on Pg

Just check it out good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would not worry about the motor to much as by the look of it you will replace down the line!!
Use it to lower the price!!

As or the boat, if it checks out good and you decide your getting it, It looks nice!!
I love the bow rail and pulpit! and the Radar Arch I think its a good locker!
 
Re: Question on Boat Purchase (Now With Pics on Pg

If I went ahead with this I would go into it knowing I would have to replace everything. I also would pretty much only get it now if he gave it to me for the price of the trailer.

How much would you expect to spend on a full restoration of this boat (excluding motor), I'm banking on 4-5K, the motor is another story.

Also, I went and took another look at the boat, the serial number on the transom says it's an 82.
 
Re: Question on Boat Purchase (Now With Pics on Pg

Joe, after seeing it, I now think you should buy it and then promply sell me that radar arch! ;D ;D

Just kiddin man. If you really want to do the work and the price is right, go ahead and do it!
 
Re: Question on Boat Purchase (Now With Pics on Pg

An 82 has got flotation in it...I don't think that makes it "unsinkable"...but did that boat go to the bottom or was it "swamped"?... ???...
 
Re: Question on Boat Purchase (Now With Pics on Pg

The motor was partially submerged, it did a half tilt. The controls and steering stayed out of the water.

I would assume the floatation would need to be replaced as well, it's normally a good idea anyway.
