Hey guys - this is the one that was on Ebay some time back - I bought it offline on a gamble sight unseen. As you can see in the description I put on Ebay, the boat is a major project, not for the newbie certainly. Lots of decent parts for sure - if I had the time I would strip it down and sell the windows, seats, bimini, etc. seperately, but the time/money equation does not work out for me. If it sells for a $1 that would be fine. If it doesn't sell it gets scrapped.
Its a 1976, bad transom, bad - well, if I kept listing bad things it would go on forever. It has some high points, but I would discourage ANY first time buyer from even clicking this link or being tempted. If you have experience or know those who do, have at it.

On another note, you will see that this guy (Bob at IAB trailers) really misrepresented the trailer, which is what I really wanted. I actually don't care that much about losing the money - the boat was a gamble that failed, but I continue to be amused that this guy still refuses to admit the trailer is far from being the "good" trailer he described. Just look at the pictures and think twice before buying something from this guy.
I am also still waiting on the keys from this guy, when I get them I will have the mechanic at the marina turn the engine over, but don't count on it before close of auction, at which point its either sold or scrapped (r I will give it to someone if its unsold at end of auction, but it would have to be removed immediately).
Finally, thanks to everyone here for there advice, comments, etc.
