Good find Hammer,

That's not bad if the floor and transom are solid. The way he described the condition of the engine makes me think it's in need of repowering. I bet he'd take $2k for it. If you could make a case for the engine being shot, he might take even less than that.

SPoke to the guy today by email. He stated the transom is solid and the floor has a small soft spot by the seat. Fuel tank and guages are fine. But what worries me is that he only had the boat for about a year. :-/ ???

[msbhammer]

Re-emailed the guy asking if the motor is shot and is this really a project V. Waiting on a responce.

He's only had the boat for about a year? He also states that it has sat for that long ???.

[msbhammer]

This guy is willing to come down in price. Might be a quick fix with the carbs ?? Here is a copy of his email that he sent me. Somebody might want to check her out ?


The motor runs ok, I had the carbs rebuilt, fairly new plugs and coils, new fuel pump, new water pump and gear oil. I took it out once and it wouldnt hit top rpms. Just sounded like it was booging. I think its giving a weak spark but I have not had it checked but I know all 6 plugs are wet with fuel after running. I did the compression check myself on the motor cold and all 6 seemed ok. I looked at the cylinders when heads were off and I could still see the hone marks no scoring or scuffs? It might be an easy fix or not I dont know but its sitting and ive given up on it b/c of money. No soft spots on the bow. I will come down on the price b/c of trailer but my plan is to buy a small boat 14-18 ft with small outboard and would trade. Lewes is about 30 mins away not bad.

Sounds like I could have a match. Thanks Hammer, I e-mailed him with the info on my boat and a possible trade. I'll let you know how I make out.

That'd be cool 8) ...

[mpcalfa2]

No match. He wants a smaller boat and motor than mine. I'm going to end up pulling my outboard off, junking the hull, and selling the trailer.

[randlemanboater]

What do you have MPC?

[mpcalfa2]

18 foot cobia bowrider 1989 with 150 johnson short shaft very low hours, also an easyloader type trailer that was used twice a year by the original owner. Hull needs a new gas tank and seats and cushions redone. I would like to keep the engine and dump the rest. My friend had a V20 cuddy and I've since been bitten by the V20 bug. So far only garbage locally but I can wait it out.

This guy lowered the buy it now price from 2500.00 to $2,000.00. Show up with cash and maybe even get it cheaper. ??

[Bygracealone]

Hmmm.... Didn't somebody say that would be the case? ;D

[msbhammer]

Price was lowered again and sold for $1800.00. Not bad at all. ;)
