Title: What can you tell me about...
Post by: crewchief22 on July 26, 2009, 01:34:29 PM

This boat  ;D
[attachthumb=#1]
The HIN shows that it is a Smileys Fiberglass MFG out of Orange Ca.
From what I can find, Smileys was involved with the Southwind molds (splash?)
[attachthumb=#2]
[attachthumb=#3]
[attachthumb=#4]
It has what appears to be a Berk JC with a Jet-o-vator  (tag missing).
[attachthumb=#5]
Upholstery looks to be in decent condition

I went to look at it yesterday, and I'm thinking about picking it up to build or part out.  Price seems fair for what I saw (he has a compete 454 in storage also).

looks like a project to me. but i just picked up a JRS mfg hull.(KONA). rougher condition but a good working project. if the price is right and if you can do a lot of the work your self. it will be a fun project

What's wrong with the interior?  :sly: Looks fine and useable to me! :thumbup:

Looks pretty damn complete though too Keith. And knowing you, you'll have it in the water in a month or so!

I would agree JC pump, but the steering linkages are kinda cool. Never seen anything like that before.

All in all, nice find, if it suits your fancy for the price. I Like!  ;D  (Though that opinion needs to be taken in context, given what I own, lol)

BTW, need a trailer? Still have the carcass left vacant from the Burning Beezer. Good Road Runner trailer, if you need to just use it or keep it, we can work sumpin out.

I don't really have the extra $$ funding $$ right now to start another project so...

If anyone here is interested in a project let me know, I'll pass on his contact information.

He's asking $1500.00.  Hull, 454, jet & upholstery (no trailer).
