I can't believe I'm doing this but I have been drinking heavily for hours.  Money is tight and I'm tired of just seeing this boat sit unfinished.  so its kinda of a drunk thread but not. Anyways

A couple years ago on a lark I drove up to Fresno to buy this boat basically unseen.  It ran (Ford460/Berk) and the price was a steal.  He said the pump was new but something quit working on the last outing.  Crawling under it I find a 12 pack wrapper in the grate.  And a ton of stuff wrong with the trailer.  Crossing my fingers we get to So Cal with no trouble.  I'm a happy camper and only $1600 lighter!
Fast forward . . .  Two years ago I spent another $1400 having the trailer completely re-habbed including tires, brakes, bearings, etc.  The motor turned out to be junk but the interiror is good for a year or two.  Rub rail needs some love but not much.  It is brown, which is honestly the only reason I don't put it together.

Two grand for the boat, or $3K for the boat with most of the parts to build a bad ass 460.  So far I have had zero luck posting pics on this site so if it don''t take, Pm me and I can email you one or two.  they aren't great pics but I din't have much to work with today.  I can get more when I'm not quite so looped.   Original everything, dog house is there but side seats are dust.  Solid classic boat, I just don't have the time to work on them both.  Or the money.  Why the hell does it have to be brown?  Why?
Holy crap ~ I think I got this !  thet deservs another Jack n Pepsi dammit

Soooooo sexy.....

Hump Day Bump !

C'mon someone buy this before I sober up and change my mind   

I really want a 19 but they seem hard to come by and the 20 would probably keep the old lady happier  I grew up on the small spectra jets and Campbell   v drives

I'm interested in the boat and the engine  I'm just curious what a bad ass 460 is    in my eyes it would be 550 plus horse but that's me just curious.   On a Chevy guy but for the right price and power the ford will do

Verdict is I'm too broke, too busy, and too stupid for this boat not to have a big For Sale sign on it.

Damn I want this boat. Not cool of you to tease me like this

I just wanted a boat that I could ski behind.  That is why I bought this one.  Now the cheapest plan seems to be to build a big Ford and put it in place of the Olds in the big boat.
You two guys are pretty smart fellas, I'm sure you can make this happen.  Hurry please because my project for next week is to remove the trees and concrete that it is sitting under/on.   Let's make this happen Cap'n !

Well it has been 5 months but the trees are gone and the driveway needs to come up.  Boat won't be sitting in the shade much anymore.  Anybody wanna trade a new cement driveway for a boat?  How about house painting?  I need that done on two houses also.  Might even be able to set you up with a running, near new 455.
