First off, a big thank you to spectrapat and all his help with getting the boat.  As you can see, it was a very HOT deal.  Most of the interior is toast and I'm not so sure about the floor either, but thats no biggie.  My back seat will fit with 1.5" on each side, so thats awesome.  Theres general fire damage in a few areas, nothing too major.  Theres some gelcoat damage at the helm which I can cover up with an aluminum plate for the dash, and near the transom, not sure what to do there other than paint it to re-gel it and blend it in.  Otherwise transom looks to be in good shape. 

Set up for a mercruiser i/o... either alpha or bravo.  Hull was purchased a little over a year ago as a project.  Since then its had new 3/4" floors put in and a 2 1/4" thick transom put in.  There are imco 13 gallon aluminum tanks with polished fuel fills and new USCG hoses and SS hose clamps.  The carpet is new 20oz from boatcarpet.com and there are 3 access holes in the floor so you can get to the underside to bolt in your seats and for ventilation.  Grab handles are staying on the boat as well as bow railing.  Also including side panels which have cubbies and holes for 6 1/2" speakers.  Including a 3 bow bimini top with solid rear poles, its blue but its better than getting skin cancer.  Also included is back hatch and hinges which will clear a BBC with center rise exhaust. 

no motor, no trailer, no upholstery.  this is a solid project hull thats ready for someone to bolt their stuff into.  gel has some rough spots from previous owner, holes are filled they just need to be sanded and polished up.  or you could just paint the whole thing which is what i was planning to do.  theres a set of seats for $400something right now for sale, slap your motor and a drive in it and go boating.  also the floor is left open under the bow.  my original plan was to go open bow, which doesnt use the floor in the front so you have more legroom... you could do that or put in a bulkhead and some speakers up under the bow if you wanted to as well.

Asking $500.  Offers accepted, shoot me a PM.  If you have something to trade shoot me a pm too.











when i first bought it, and what you'd be buying with some other boat on craiglist...



all new transom:



bilge is all white and clean (no motor/rigging included with sale)



heres the boat handling some decent harbor chop with no problems.  was probably doing 40 at the time.  its a great riding hull. 

Do you have project ADD? You just finished the kona/Tahiti/whatever, ditched it for this boat, finally finish it and you're bailing on it now. What gives? What's next?

haha pretty much.  i like working on em more than using em... i should open up a shop.  i was the same way with my mustangs... i cant tell you how many ive had. 

going to a 21 warlock. 

you might want to look into an "electronics project box"  thats what i used for my stuff.  they make them with clear plastic covers that are also water proof.



12x12 is pretty big though...


my little box. 

bilgekote is the jam.  looks great. 

that roush yates motor is too damn smooth.  sounds like a beast winding up to 8-9k rpms though. 

you'll have to talk to an OSO as they only accept a small percentage of "non traditional diploma" recruits a year...

welcome back.


remember to drink responsibly.

12-15"?  pretty big.  try looking into golf cart rims.  only problem is the hubs are gonna be custom and expensive... not little 3 bolt go-kart wheels.  and they're gonna be heavy.

well if you can make that with some "scrap" you should just go into the trailer building business.  sheesh.  nice work.

thats great.  im guessing DMV just titles it as a custom build?

i have a pair of regular aluminum flip tank fills you can have if you want em.  They could use a sanding and polish to clean up. 

check your filter, get a fuel pressure gauge, and make sure the bowls stay filled and your floats are set correctly.  a "new out of the box" carb might be set up okay to run on a street car but they usually dont lend themselves very well to a marine application without proper tuning.
