Title: 1965 Howard
Post by: SuperDuty on January 28, 2010, 11:41:34 PM
Hey there, Iv been reading the forums for awhile now, Helped me alot in buying a boat! Now its time to sale my 65 Howard VDrive. I was wondering what you guys think I should ask for it? It has a Ford 390 FE with a casale. Seats were recently redone, but the gel coat has some scratches and rub marks from a dock. Boat ran great last summer, I just finally talked my dad into saleing me his Hondo. Dont need 2 flattys! From what I was told the motors stock. Trailers a dual axle and stout built. Doubt its the one the boat came with. Any help would be greatly appreciated! http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii136/coltschlumbohm/GetAttachment.jpg

Good looking float  ;D

I agree with the $8000 range, but you might end up setting on it for a while to find the right buyer.  There are a lot of boats out there for $4000-$6000 with more than stock engines.

Post by: SuperDuty on January 30, 2010, 04:32:13 PM
The paint is like that on both sides of the engine conpartment. The guy before me ran dry headers before the logs and melted the paint and a bunch of wire loom.. Talk about a mess to get melted plastic off of everything. Im not sure what to ask yet.. I think 8 would be steep because the gel isnt in the best shape. Maybe 5?

I LIKE THE ROGERS HE HAS but "I" wouldnt buy it because it has a ford. There are a TON of people on here that love fords and have commented how nice of a boat he has there! Hence the "Good Luck on the Sale" Part!

Get over yourself and quit attacking me in other people threads.....

Oh, Heaven forbid I typed the wrong name.... You call what you do whatever you want, whatever makes you sleep at night!

Like I said, you know how to get a hold of me, but you choose to ATTACK me in random peoples threads and call names (What are you 8?)

Sorry about the thread jack SuperDuty!

Hmm.. How boat 3500? I need this thing gone. The house sold where this boat is stored in the garage and has to be out NOW.. And Id hate to see her sit out in the weather. Especially since its snowing outside right now!

Post by: SuperDuty on March 20, 2010, 07:45:09 PM
Ok.. Would I have better luck parting this out? It seems like these Casales are going for 600+ dollars, Im sure the motors worth a bit, all the gauges and trailer.. Seems like Id make more? Im droppin it to 3,000. I want it GONE! Need the parking for my other boat.
Title: Re: 1965 Howard
Post by: SuperDuty on May 22, 2010, 03:21:01 PM
2500.. Bottom line. Im broke or I would even consider selling it for so cheap.. Took it out last week and she runs just fine.

Thanks! Yah, I bought it to pull the motor and put a BBC in it and throw some new paint on her.. But I bought a jet boat from the rough local lakes and because Im too lazy to throw an achor! I wouldnt be selling it if I wasnt broke and waiting on work.  :-\

SuperDuty,

I know this may be out of the question.....BUT...I am going to try anyways.... :)

This is a BEAUTIFUL example of a classic V-Drive ( OPPS!)  ;D!

Would you be willing to ship her to South Florida?
Title: Re: 1965 Howard
Post by: SuperDuty on May 28, 2010, 03:03:15 PM
Well we have a issue here.. Its a V-Drive..  ;D  I know nothing about shipping across the country. If you were to set up everything and I just deleivered it to a tow company or somthing.. I can handle that. Of course it would have to be on your dollar. Let me know if its somthing your interested in. If your looking for quotes, best place to start would be leaving Fresno, CA. Thats the closest city near me that has more than 2000 people.

Post by: Newbomb Turk on June 11, 2010, 07:04:09 AM
Sorry Colt. I was waiting for you to get me the dimensions and the other pictures of the boat for the shippers, I ended up guessing the dimension's, which were 18' long, 1800lbs 7'5" wide and 5' tall. (on the trailer) But the shippers were coming in with $1400 - $1800 to Illinois.   Depending on what deal we'd have made, we were close but no cigar. Basically, buying a boat site unseen, just by the pictures, it just wasn't worth it to me.  Cool boat though.

Yah, I was going to get you the dimesions this weekend. Iv actually been working 12s all week. No time to breathe let alone mess with my boat. I guess I should be happy Im working atleast! I honestly thought it would have sold by now too. I just buffed and polished it, made it 100 times better. Shes going up to the Bass Lake V-Drive show this weekend with a for sale sign. Hopefully someone will have to have it like I did last year! Thanks guys!

im sorry but you guys crack me up $8k..i took one look and thought $3k tops and now he is at $2500

Post by: SuperDuty on July 12, 2010, 05:47:28 PM
I was just about to say Im back up to 3k because I cleaned up the paint and polished alot of stuff, plus I went back to work.. BUT! Good ol DMV just sent me a letter revoking my license. Gotta come up with cash to pay a couple tickets.. Im stickin to the 2500. Unless you have 1500 cash and something to trade. I hate the DMV.  >:(
