Nice boats. Did you just get them? Your camera printed 1-1-2008 on the photos is why I ask. Can you post some interior pics?

Fantastic. You have a built in range. Did you do that? Love the front window curtains. Is the white wood finish original?

That white wood is fiber glass. The whole inside is fiberglass, the roof everything. Its not white wood.

You said for the money she was in good shape.. Mind if I ask what you gave for her and was the trailer included? You can Email me at Billy.Towe@GE.Com for a private message if you rather. I have one identical to it. Newly rebuilt engine, tranny, gear box and paint job. My interior is not nearly as nice as yours but passable. Refer, water heater, head, shower all work perfectly. I'm trying to trade it for a old 36' Chris Craft but he's not offering as much as think its worth! They never do.
Thanks

The market is not what it was a year and a half ago when I bought mine. You can get a good idea as to what they are selling for, yours and his, on CL an Ebay etc. It is hard to compare apples to apples, unless you see them in person. Yes mine came with a trailer and most all of the systems had been rebuilt or replaced. And of course, everything worked. What price did you have in mind and what model/year are you thinking of getting?

The only thing really wrong with my boat was the strut that holds the drive shaft. The guy put out the anchor and let it swing around on some cora reef. I removed the strut and I am going to remove the drive shaft to make sure its still true. and repack it all. I got 5,000 watt inverter I am going to install it and a 24v 3x4 solar panel I am going to put in the hard top. I also going to install a Radio ( Car ) that has a built in screen with DVD player, with video out put jacks so I can run more flat screen monitors on it. The engine was replaced two years ago along with new V drive that was put in. The engine was 318, it now powered with a 351 ford. The prop was replaced also. Had a new fridge also. Has all new Bilge Pumps, one thing I would like to do before I take her out a lot this summer is figure out how put in cold A/C in her. I do not want it to look trashy so I have not figured out was is the best way yet. Someone said something about installing RV Camper style in the front hatch. I am not sure how that would look. I do have one I took off from my 24ft racing trailer before I sold it. Anyway I am being long winded I know.....
