Man I cant compete with that, all I got is a small fishing boat. If that motor had any more crome it would be on a hells angels bike, nice!!!

the only "chrome" on it is the alternator, headers are a ceramic coat and all the other shiney stuff is polished aluminum

you do know its a sail boat right? will still be cool with an outboard but if you ever can figure out the the builder, see if you can replicate the original mast and sail. it will do wonders for the value of it

Also have two others. one is a 32" Marionette, bought it for a steal, gonna resell later. The other is a 21" century. Tree Branch fell on it when we had those ice storms last winter :(
Ive been looking at the seadoo challenger boats for what I want to do it seems to be the most versitile. I dotn want a prop boat and I dont want a barge plus they are alot easier to drive then others so my wife can drive it as well.

If you arent using those on smooth water, forget it. They pound REAL hard. On small lakes, they are awesome though.

I know it's a sail boat, I got it dirt cheap so I'm not worried about the value but it shouldn't be that hard to just make one

ive heard that before and watched the videos, but for everything I want to do I cant see a better solution plus I want to take it into saltwater as well since im only about hour and a half from the atlantic

I am nowhere near salt water but I know the pumps have aluminum components and do no last long in salt water nor do the aluminum engines. would probably be ok if you flush it asap after saltwater runs

This is my Stamas 288 Liberty currently for sale and the Luhrs 320 Tournament that I just picked up. More of a cruiser than a fisher but I like the easy maintenance of full fiberglass.128529128528

Had this Crestliner for a few years but couldn't justify the costs versus usage (3 hrs last year), so I sold it this Spring. Fast little bugger for it's length;17' w/135hp merc. I could get 50mph by GPS on smooth water.:crazy:

I just sold my boat 2 days ago and always hear that there is 2 good days of having one, the day you buy it and the day you sell it. Wasnt so for me, really hated selling it but tough times call for tough measures. Well with the money I sold it for may have a guy talked into selling me his 350x for cheap. Ill be happy and wife will be happy so win win I guess132423132424 I know its not as sweet as some of you guys boats but this thing was a great all around boat. Flat bottom, 50hp jet drive with all the fishing essentials. Gonna miss her!!
