For once, the roll is reversed. I really love spending your money this time :D

I do like the idea of buying a bow-wow rider and parting it. You would get the trailer, motor, and drive in one shot. Down side is $$ all at one time.

I'm sure your looking for revenge when it comes to spending my money now. I think buying a setup and parting is the way I will probably go. :poke: I'm sure there is plenty of work to perform before I need to worry about the driveline.
 
Looks like a project but after some cleaning it probably wont looks as quite as daunting of a task. I would say that it is going to need at least a floor replacement judging by the home-made driver's seat base. Also missing one engine mount.

Wonder if the radio still works? if so the hull only cost $100! Looks like all the gauges and rigging are still there.....that will save a bunch of screwing around/little pricey items to initially get her going.
 
So how long before you take possession? Are you set up with a shop that will allow you to bust a-- on this thing all winter? Do you think you're going to re paint the entire boat? If so being that you're a body shop manager I'm sure it will turn out nice and won't be your average design
 
I will pick it up probably late sept. I think I will bring it home as I don't want to spend extra time at work. It will probably get a complete paint and hopefully I can get my suppliers to donate most materials. Don't know how I will want the paint done yet, that will have to wait until that time comes. It will be something custom, I can't leave anything stock.

It would be sweet with YFs 383 donor motor.:eyecrazy:

yes it would, but I don't see that happening. he's not looking to het rid of the 383 and with the money he invested I probably couldn't afford it. I'm am watching for a junk boat with a good 350 and drive assembly in it.

Loaded up and ready to roll. This is going to be a lot of work but will be worth it in the end. Thanks again for the help spencer. :thumb:

No worries Dave! Glad I could help you become boatless no more:bigthumb:... and that the trailer swap went as well as it did:o Have a safe ride home
 
Some jerk off in a boat was tailgaiting me for 11hrs back from Jersey.

Heres what the hull looked like when I got it home

and after a quick buff job
-AEA9-4493-815D-E48EB52299B5-3393-0000040C3E374147.png
I think the sides will clean up nice but the deck is shot and will probably need a repaint. I will try some more wetsanding and buffing but it appears too far gone.
 
That guys tailgating was in a Checkmate which is apparently faster than a GM truck so you shoulda got out of his way! :) Glad the sides cleaned up nice like that for you. Can't wait to see the finished product.
 
Looks good Dave! I knew you wouldn't be able to help yourself once you had it home:thumb: Did you clean out the interior yet and access the damage?

How long before it gets kicked out of the shop?
