cheap boat for next season fun!

Where in Kansas. Just getting a feel for mileage

 

Junction city 66441.

I do not have money for a spare right now with all of the bs lately or I would meet you part way.

 

I will get out tomorrow and take a few pictures of the boat like the engine cover and stuff.

Nothing pretty but I was very surprised how much I enjoyed it. I drove 2 hours to get a different boat and the guy sold it while I was on he way but had this one, which I bought because I didn't want to make the trip for nothing. And I couldn't have been more happy with it over the summer.

Before this boat I actually never liked tri hull boats and it really does well on rough water etc for how small it is. The interior is really nothing special but it still worked for us and all we did was tube/knee board and swim off of it.

I carry a 5gal gas can with when I go out because the tank is only 11 gallons and I ran out once.. no fun lol. Wide open throttle it goes quick but tubing and having fun it lasted much longer.

I planned to replace the interior and put a radio etc in it, I figured if I put a few grand into restoring and upgrades it would be a great boat and it would be way cheaper than a 30k new boat..

The trailer is good metal and good jack and winch but the bunkers need gone through soon, whoever designed the thing did some things differently than I would have. But then I can complain because I payed about 2k between purchase and the fuel water seperator and new tire and tune up etc and it treated me great.

 

I promised this picture. sorry for the delay..

this is the engine cover, and bimini top folded down

 

This weekend I scrapped a rruck and got a bunch of work done.

Also price drop $750 if anyone wants it.

I pulled all the plugs and drained it for the winter since its going to freeze soon.

Worst case scenario I got an offer from the boat shop today to buy it if it does not sell so I know what the "scrap" or parts value is now.

Or if someone needs a mercruiser 165 and the outdrive I will sell the engine and outdrive and take the boat to the landfill.

 

someone buy this thing and have some fun. I dont want to drag it cross country.

 

If you drug it to NC I would almost buy it, but I dont have the storage area so I already got a kayak instead.

 

Haha. Well i scrapped a truck, and im taking both project trucks home to iowa for storage. So i may end up with enough room to bring it.

right now its looking like im taking the play truck, 4runner, tacoma and car trailer, enclosed trailer and a uhaul.. I sold some furniture so i don't think i will need a penske truck anymore

 

If someone has a old ls400 laying around i would trade a boat for a boat lol

but i would be in trouble with the lady..

 

Sounds like someone's gonna have a nice 1uz build I'd love a boat to bad you're to far from me.. Glws

 

I have always wanted to.. Plan to put it in a 79-83 truck, but probably will do it in the 85 and put the 22ret in the 79. Who knows, its a ways off anyway. Just out doing some google/ebay browsing and thought of it.

I have saved a r151 and r150 trans, and some other parts for the eventual swap. But thats about it for now..

 

i wish i had the space to just keep the 4 trucks i cut up this year, its amazing how much it helps when you have lots of spares and parts to mix and match.

Someday lol.. but untill then, i guess i will just keep on tucking away the few rare pieces i keep for each project.

 

I hear ya! I was gonna drop one in a 77 celica liftback. Haven't found the right celica yet

 

i saw one like that online, and ever since i have wanted one. I just can't have a car projet with all the trucks..

I would love to see that!

 

if you get it to nc with a working tire on the trailer i will buy it sight unseen for 750 when you get here.

 

I'd pick this up if you were closer to Cali. I've been looking for a new project.

 

How close to the Colorado boarder are you?
What size tire?

 

Its a 12 inch trailer tire (rim size obviously) but they pretty much only come in one or 2 sizes. Ill get the actual tire size when I go gome.

I am a few hours from Colorado border. Ill check google maps and give you a reall answer

 

Its about 5 hour drive for me. 8 hours from here to denver.

 

Hey guys and gals, boat is still available. Sorry i have not been on here much. I got a new new car hauler trailer with 83"x20' deck so i can actually load the boat and trailer on it and meet someone up to about 250 miles from 66441 if they want it.

Also if someone needs a mercruiser 165 inline six engine and or the outdrive i could take it out and sell it and take the boat to the landfill. Would be easier to move that way.
