well guys Merry Late Christmas and Happy Early New Year


Well tomorrow i'm heading to pick up another project i couldn't turn down i came to buy a 20' Chris Craft that was repowered with a new 305 Merc and it has closed cooling, i had that guy to $500 but it has no trailer then i found a 1995 Sylvan Deck boat 21' with Merc 150 OB and 1999 Aluminum Tandem trailer for $300 so you know what i bought. I still may buy and strip the Chris Craft. Will get pics once i get it home.

don't worry i'm taking it off and putting an Evinrude 140 i have on and selling the Merc 150 on ebay with controls and all gauges this spring. I figure that a Merc 150 with all that running should be worth $500. on Flea Bay

The frame is in good shape, the springs, axles, wheels, bolts, and mounting hardware are rusted to the point of failure.

yeap that what i'm doing it was complete and running with i bought it. i stripped it down and had a couple soft spots so i just figured i'd replace the whole floor and it will be good to go for several more yrs. i know the newer guys here have no faith but they haven't seen my work right.

ol no biggy i'm redoing this boat for my dad he likes the deck boats but i hate them. i had a new center console laying in the yard so i'm going to make it 23' long CC Deck boat. i'm going to add 2 ft to the transom. this should be a fun project.
