That is a fine boat indeed. I'm guessing at $6500 it must be the freshwater version

There is a 36 here on the Chesapeake...1984 I believe, for 39,000. Boat looks great...needs new tanks. Twin Lehmans. I love the boat...but my perfect GB is the Europa with a single. These boats handle great with single screw.

I generally refrain from these types of conversations due to the fact that most everyone who has a strong opinion believes they are right. It is a lose lose because I am right. And I know it!

Doghouse, That Chrysler 318 was born to run. Very good engine...and I love the way they sound too. As I have said on this forum before, just figure the direction your boat reverses and keep the wheel turned that same way. Forward and reverse clutch should get you into your slip or a fuel dock...anyw...

A good many production boats have wood stringers. The F-series is no different. It is still an "all glass boat" Dog house, your boat has a V-Drive Chrysler 318...am I right?. Your shaft angle is slightly different than the ensuing models of the F-26 or 25. Meaning it is a little flatter an...

I have seen the boat with all white, though with the accenting colors like from the factory. It looks GREAT! Very updated but still maintaining the original look.

The thing about re-carpeting a boat is the labor can easily be triple or more than the price of the carpet itself especially if you have to upholster steps and the like. This is more so on the bigger boats. I have a guy that specializes in boat installations and he is expensive. The thing is though,...

I'm 48...spent the first night on our boat at age of 5 months so I guess I've been boating 48 years.
I've been a Realtor since 1985, bought/restored and sold antique homes and currently in the floor covering business to help pay the bills.
