Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

If the hull is sound, you can get SKOOLS to come off of one of his 225's and get you a bracket and repower later on for the price he is asking.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

MJ sounds good but it looks to me like it is sitting low in the arse end, what do you think ???

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

i got the quick fix for a low ***, willy. . . . give that b i t c h * some throttle.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

That sounds rather sexual my friend, I like it ::)

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

get in line sister.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

Therm, I have a bracket already for it!! Don't tell hammer I have been sitting on a extra! ;)

uuuuuuummmmm. . . . . . . . . . .










NO.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

I have 2 friends I fish with that both own F233 Formula's. The are a deep v boat that rides well. Trim tabs are a MUST for these boats as they allow you to make the most of that 24 degree dead rise. Both of my friends boats have SBC powered inboards and the boats are fast and very able. Excellent fishing boats. Dare I say it here? but IMHO the Formula is a big step up in ride and sea worthyness from the V-20. Ad trim tabs and a hard top & curtains to the formula's and you can fish with just about anyone in all but the worst kind of weather. Very similar in performance to the 24 Albemarle's. That one on Ebay looks really nice too!

Let the hate mail begin... :P

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

No hate here!! I have know it for a lonmg time just could never afford it before!

Thanks for your input!

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

MJ where are the scuppers in those boats, don't see any in the pics, is it that slot in the middle back that drains to the bildge ??? Is that it?

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

MJ, on the fl formula, I'm like kajun, 100 miles away. but jasonpcola is in pensacola,i think. maybe he could do a visual for you.. i also notice the boat has an Al reg. make sure of a clean title.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

I would hope the performance is similiar. The FORMULA 233's mold was used as the foundation for the first CONTENDER 25, SEEVEE 25, ALBEMARLE 242, BLUEWATER 2350, ALMMAND 23, and the first DONZI's. After I did a little research, turns out the 233's hull was the foundation for countless other boats.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

I have another emai into him asking a few more ??

The scuppers werem out the side on my buddys Formula?

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

16 min for this one!! Looks like it is going to go for a great price!! 23 wellcraft!

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

The price went up a bit right at the end on the 23 MJ. %5200 ain't horrible money, still a good buy for that price. I can't believe that the 248 in south FLORIDA ended for $3500.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

yep I saw that!! *Gee I hope my new boat don';t fly that high! *:o

Of coarse if I no sell soon I won't be able to buy any way *:'(

any one want to give me a loan?? I will give you the title to the V for it??

I will up your posting numbers! *;)

Pretty Please! ;D

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

MJ I'll give you a buck 2.50 ;D

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

Thats a start willy!! I will be waiting! ;)

Good new is that new member jasoncooperpcola will go look at the boat for me, take pic';s and email them also, he lives in the same town!!

I am waiting to hear from him whats a good time and day I will then call the guy to set it up!

everyone please pray my boat sells this week!!

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

You know MJ, I could go get that FORMULA for ya and babysit it until you get your V gone ;D.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

I am sure you would!! Between you and hammer I get a used up boat with a missing bracket!


I spoke to the guy and he is hopingto get $9000+ he said he had a $13K reserve last year on it and it onmly got to $11.5
But he has a new boat now and has to move this one.

But this is a no reserve auction, so I guess if he gets less then $9K some one is going to get screwed??

Also I just had a guy xcome by and wants my boat, but he wants it in 1 or 2 weeks? I said first one here with Cash in hand gets it.

Comes out in the Want Ad on Tuesday and ebay ends Tue afternoon

Re: Help MJ find his next boat

Re: Help MJ find his next boat

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

Don't give up on ebay MJ, I bid on mine with less than 1 minute left, could be someone waitting til the last seconds.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

That's right MJ. Many people wait till the end to bid on items. Everybody wants to play their cards close, so that nobody knows what they're thinking or planning to do. The only problem with that approach is that sometimes reserves won't be met because not enough bidders bid to get it that high.

I don't mean to preach, but a Proverb that oftentimes gives me perspective on things like this says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6)."

One more: Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.

There is comfort to be found in knowing that these things are not in our control. Do the best you can to sell your boat and if it's the Lord's will, it will certainly happen. If not, there's a reason for it and perhaps we'll never know the reason.

Worst case scenario is that you end up with your trusty V and you try to sell her again later. At least you have your boat and she's in good running order.

Hang in there buddy.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

Thanks Guys!

Want ad is out today and I will be in that for the next 2 weeks!

Re: Help MJ find his next boat

You could get this one, and on your way home swing by SKOOLS place and talk him out of his 140's and be in business.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

Here's a nice one right up your alley MJ, but he's a bit out of his mind on his price I think.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

Thanks Therm!!

I am hooked on a Formula or Seacraft!! Thats all I am looking at now!

I love that one in Keylargo but man is that far away!!! I can't see me having enough time off work to go get it, and the price of shipping be $2K or better and I can find a motor for that!

That would break the bank and I have to wait a year or better before I could look for a motor. ???

well we will see what happens?

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

You know spareparts has a nice lookin 200 YAMAHA for sale ;).

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

Macojoe, I have a 1985 Formula 20'Sunsport I might be interested in selling. It currently has a 265 h.p. mercruiser that was used in salt water only once for about a week. It would make an awesome fishing boat with a bracket/outboard on it. Very high freeboard. Very solid boat. It has a huge cabin for a 20' boat. It sits on a 1985 Shorelander trailer. Boat is in great shape with exception of interior. Any interest?

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

Sounds great nipper!

But they are small compared to are V20's and I need room and deep water boat!

I commercial fish and would like to be able to go offshore in comfort again!

Thanks any way!

Therm 200 ponys!! Speak to me!!@

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

Boat did not sell on Ebay so now we turn tothe want ad that came out today

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

knowing your search is down to Formula's and SeaCrafts should make it easier to find, keep looking. Me personally, after having fished both boats, I prefer the SeaCraft, especially in an outboard configuration. remember when you're searching for Sea Crafts, type it in both ways" SeaCraft, & Sea Craft.

BTW, did you see the 25 Whitewater on Classic Seacraft, interesting boat.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

The 25 WHITEWATER is also a FORMULA 233 copy hull. Sale pending as of 8-26 though.

http://www.classicseacraft.com/forum...o=&fpart=1

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

Thanks guys!!

Not to much for sale on that site? Guess cause $25 is needed to do so.

Well I would love to go get that FL boat in Key's and stop by skools or spares and grab at least a 200HP !!


But I can't see how I could do it?? Shipping is the only way and thats $$$

But keep them coming!

I am going to look at that one in Arlington that Therm posted tomorrow. If I like I will go back this weekend for sea trial and hopefully find the money some were??

I have 3K and the guy wants $4400 B/O so you know $4K is going to be easy to get, But I am short $1K

Now there is away to get around this, I habve a friend that wants to buy my trailer for $1K and give me his old.

His trailer is road worthy and he uses every week to tow his 21 Contender, it needs a fender and maybe a few rollers but its fine!

So my thought is sell him the trailer and get the old one, sell my boat for $4K I still make out with the $5K I wanted and I can buy this boat this weekend and wait awhile for mine to sell.

How does that sound guys?? Of coarse thats if I like this boat.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

The plan sounds good, except for the part of selling your boat for only $4,000.00 :o :o If you can sit on it for a wile, I still would not lower the price of yours, Unless oyu are selling it to me ;D(trust me, I have thought about it ;))
Good luck!!

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

Thanks Sean, But I have it advertised wqith the new trailer :o

So if i do this deal people are going to want to know what happened?? I have to find a good story for that?

I want $5K thats a good deal! so how I get it is no matter, so is I swap trailers and they are not to mad if I get $4k I will be happy!

My wife has no idea that I have cash on hand and unless I sell my boat I have to keep the new boat hidden at a friends till I swell mine :'(

Another good reason for the cheaper price cause I like tro fisah the fall run, so I have to get rid of it!!

Buy it wil ya!! $4K ;)

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

sounds a little sneaky to me hiding things from the wife and all :-/ ;D

but you gotta do what you gotta do.......

I just wish you would teach the rest of us how to hide $3000 from our wives ::)
