Whoever wants the '86 Cuddy hull I got from Reel who he got from GarageNC is free to have it.

Pretty much a bare hull, cap, and deck.

No engine or trailer.

Does still have the wind shield, though the starboard side glass is broken and the frame is bent. Has bow light, rod holders, few other small things.

I'll deliver within a short distance.

Local guy. Told him about the site and he said he checked it out and was gonna join, we'll see, seems like a good guy. His last boat he said he replaced the deck and stringers in, so I'm hopeful the '86 will be a decent project for him. Gave him a lot of the extra parts that I took off but didn't need. Had every body from Midway and Hinesville calling wanting it, but no way to pick it up, wanted me to deliver it. One guy wanted it for a fish pond, literally. Glad she went to someone who hopefully will give her a second life and do something good with her.

Flipped his money into another project and had it in the yard within half an hour. :sun:

Picked up a 19 ft Stingray bowrider. She has sat for a few years and needs a good bath. Has one soft spot in the deck, not too bad compared to the last two I've dealt with. Has a mercruiser I/O that I saw running about a year and a half ago. Don't know if it's a 3.0 or 4.3, because I haven't even checked yet been so busy. Outdrive looks good, looks like very little salt use. Sitting on a galvinized ez loader trailer that has some rust like a lot of them are known to have.

Hoping to turn it around in a couple of weeks. Got a 24 ft fly bridge mini sportfisher on the horizon. :sun:

what year model stingray? I'm pretty familiar with them. I used to work for a dealer that sold them. My old room mate had a 176 with a 3.7 that I had running in the low 50's

'91 model "596 zpx". Turns out it has the 3.0 liter 4cylinder Mercruiser. I think it's similar to a 196 model.

That local guy would be me. Lol. Very excited to restore this boat and cant wait to get it back in the water. I've got a couple of pictures posted of it as it sat when I got it. But since then I've already popped the cap off to check out stringers and foam. They will need to be replaced. Will be starting that soon. More pics to come as I progress!
