I am just starting to poke around, would like to find a 16 that is all set up for a 4.3 Chevy V6 but needs a motor, really want something that is all assembled with the drive but has a bad engine. I know they are few and far between, but let me know.
Also would be interested in an 18 Classic 2+3 wit the same scenario, set up for a SBC but needs a motor.
Thanks, Tim
Have a 1971 Classic 18 for sale - all the dirty work done including new gas tank - just needs to be assembled. Volvo 280 and Pontiac 400 (marinized) - new paint, new interior, like-new alum trailer. Sell for cost of parts and paint job - Tom 478-918-5928

Still toying with idea of second boat, anyone has a boat for sale let me know.
Maybe something needs a motor or something mechanically sounds but needs cosmetics.
Needs to be 16 or maybe an 18
Wow this thread is old LOL considering you started it back on 7 / 26 / 2012 funny thing i also am looking for another fixer upper ( 16 ) that needs a complete make over . :cool:
Not a V6, and WAY too much of a project I'm guessing.
