Re: Question on Boat Purchase (Now With Pics on Pg
 

If I went ahead with this I would go into it knowing I would have to replace everything. I also would pretty much only get it now if he gave it to me for the price of the trailer.

How much would you expect to spend on a full restoration of this boat (excluding motor), I'm banking on 4-5K, the motor is another story.

Also, I went and took another look at the boat, the serial number on the transom says it's an 82.

Joe, after seeing it, I now think you should buy it and then promply sell me that radar arch! ;D ;D

Just kiddin man. If you really want to do the work and the price is right, go ahead and do it!

An 82 has got flotation in it...I don't think that makes it "unsinkable"...but did that boat go to the bottom or was it "swamped"?... ???...

The motor was partially submerged, it did a half tilt. The controls and steering stayed out of the water.

I would assume the floatation would need to be replaced as well, it's normally a good idea anyway.
