Hah! My brother in law and I put this little thing together back when it was new in 87. He used it sparingly for a couple years and then it's been sitting every since. With all you guys having all the fun with mini's I thought I would see if he would sell it. The response was yes and for an extra 100 bucks I could have the little outboard.
Went and picked it up with Ian and other than being really dirty, it's a cherry. Even the shift, throttle and steering cable were free and moved easy. Has a little non skid tape on the deck in the shape of a racing stripe but we think we'll take that out and lay a strip of carbon fiber down the center to give it a little more modern look.
It just has a 9.9 Evinrude at the moment but it's such a cherry motor I probably just run it as is.
The boat is a double hull all fiberglass hull that from what we were told, they used to rent out at Disney World. The regular ones had had upholstrey pads to sit on and the rentals were like this with the all fiberglass and had the hatch to hide the fuel tank.
Got it cleaned up and both the grandkids and our 2 dogs seemed to have approved
Well, it has a capacity of 280 and needless to say, I damn near do that on my own but back in the day we had about 450 and other than the water about an inch away from the opening in the gunnel, it was no problem
So, as much as I wish this was a jet, I can't see me cutting this sweet little boat up so it'll probably stay a whacker
Anyhow, thanks and can't wait to see all the pictures as everyone gets these back on the water where they belong
