Title: Southwind tunnel
Post by: bwurst1 on August 11, 2009, 12:29:06 PM

Hello. Im contemplating buying a southwind tunnel dragster project boat. Its a bare hull no rigging what-so-ever. Fiberglass hull on a tandem trailer. Does any one know what a fair price for this would be? The seller wants $3500. Seems a bit high. The seller is absolutely firm on his price.
Thanks in advance

I think for a bare hull SWTD that needs everything 3500 is high just my .02
the one in the picture sold for 7,500 turn key and the boat was in great shape new stringers carpet strong motor no bs nice boat

good project. it depends on the shape of the hull. i would say its worth it if there was no fiberglass work flawless and paint was in good shape. but just remember what money you put in your not going to ever get out..

Thanks for all the help guys. I think Ill pass on this one. I spoke to the owner and its been sitting outside for 20 yrs. If any one finds one for sale Let me know. Preferably one with a little more rigging.
Thanks.
