Does anyone know this boat? I'm going to see it tonight.....

[jvcobra]

So how did it look? Did you buy it?

[anthonybalmert]

It's not the one for me, and I'm not sure if it was a good deal or not.

In general the boat just needs some TLC. Needs to be buffed, new decals, seats cleaned up, ect. It is showing it's age but nothing seems damaged if that makes sense. Most everything on the boat seemed original.

Here's what I saw:

Carb'd 454 sounded like it had a mild cam. Prob needs to be tuned, lots of surging at idle.
The motor looked clean, flat black. Cant speak for the compression. Seems to be holding it's fluids OK
Dual batteries, not matching, one is new
New starter motor
unknown hours

No ovbious soft spots
Transom seemed solid, dont trust my judgment though.
A few small cracks under the back seat, one on the top of the windshield, around the gas cap. The hull has chips and scratches but no major damage.

The upholstery was all in tact but looked aged. Would look better if it was cleaned up but not new.

Trailer looked nice. 3 new tires on it.

The owner only used it a handful of times over the two years he owned it. Seems like it gave him problems on the water and he got discouraged. Probably was the starter

I'm looking for something that's a little closer to like new condition with fuel injection, plenty of projects on my hands over here already.....

I did snap some shots with my phone, which I'm happy to email if anyone is interested. Just shoot me an email anthonybalmert@gmail.com
