I saw that thing a few days ago, it is super clean. Guy is motivated and ready to sell, but knows what he can get for it.
Sent while day dreaming...

looks like a decent deal, but it has been for sale for quite awhile now, kinda makes you wonder what is up with it. Someone else posted on phx craigslist about it, bashing the boat, saying it had stringer rot, problems with the trailer and a couple other things. The pictures sure dont match what the asshat was saying about though.

That's disappointing. I was almost tempted to drive down an check it out.

I have not seen the boat personally, just relaying what someone put up on craigslist about it. for all I/we know he may have really wanted to buy the thing and needed to come up with the cash and was trying to chase others off of it. the pictures sure do make it look like a really nice boat though, i am not planning on any trips to Tucson in the near future, maybe in a couple weeks if it is still there i will run down and check it out

Its been for sale in Tucson for a long time. The original owner sold it for like $900 to the guy who is selling it now. The new owner put it up for $2000 initially. Apparently this boat got swamped and sank in the river. I guess it lost the bucket seat cushions and ripped off the nozzle. From what another guy said they had to drill out a hole in the bottom to help get the water out. I just stopped and looked without the owner and it looks clean. Probably be a worthy project. I would want to go over it with a fine toothed comb though.

To answer the ? of this boat & set the story straight....
I went to buy the rail kit & motor mounts & some other misc parts from this boat to finish another project & ended up buying the hull & trailer for an additional $250. Figured for that price I would have the next project.
A younger couple here in Tucson that was going to buy it started the posts about the problems after I sold it to someone else & he reposted it for double what I sold it for. Guess they were mad @ the jump in price. Almost everything of what was said about this hull is true. This Miller had been clearcoated with paint & the guy I sold it to did a great job removing the clearcoat that was peeling & buffing the top deck, hence the pictures looking so good. But, the rubrail had been removed & the seam between the top & bottom was not filled & the light brown around the edge was painted. Consequently there was a crack around the whole hull through the paint. Also the bottom had been painted. Whoever painted the hull scuffed the gelcoat so deeply, that most of the boat was going to need to be regeled. I really missed that one.
Also, impellor was junk, jet was full of dirt from sinking, def needed to be rebuilt, guages full of dirt, no carpet, needed bulkhead replaced from rot, rt stringer fiberglass delaminating, no front seats.
Add all that up & the cost of an engine. I opted to resell it.
I guess it has resold since it is no longer listed.
