I can never find the adds you post up... might consider adding a link

My bad, I always copy and paste the entire ad so that years later the newbies will get to see all the great deals they missed out on. LOL

so why haven't you updated your signature with the new boat yet Bradford?

Took all the project boats out of the sig, didn't want to seem like I was showing off.

Not to mention, I think it was starting to take up too much bandwidth or something.

If you get some one that doesn't want the console, I want a bigger one for my 16, it has some kind of universal console in it thats too small

well dang it... all that and no pics in the add for me to drool over LOL

Are you looking for a center console? I've got another one with a different console out back that isn't bolted in. Has a helm and steering cable with it. No windsheild, but has a grab rail and a seat in front with storage.

that's about what I'm looking for, measure the height, width and length for me, can the storage are be used for a fuel tank?

Sorry Smoke, at my house we party like it's 1986.

Let me go measure it, be back in a minute.

Measures 32 x 31 not counting the flange around the bottom or the plastic rod holders, and 16 x 30 in the storage compartment. 32 high to the top of the console, and 48 high to the top of the grabrail. The storage has no floor so you could just set the console over the tank.

Man, that is tempting. I have a Johnson 100 that would be perfect for it.

How much resto is needed to get it fishable? Much glass work?

I'll get back to you on that Bradford
BTW, the console I have would be perfect for a 14

More sanding and painting than actual grinding in my opinion. Probably has some soggy foam. Has a couple coats of paint that need to be taken down, plus a bunch of old hardware that could be scrapped. Seeing your work on your console she'd be beautiful when you finished. She really has beautiful old school lines, a sharp entry with a big flare. Built like a tank. The big "coffin" box" is factory original and part of the entire console mold. She's one of the biggest 17 footers you'll see. If you don't like this one I've got another one that needs less sanding, has the original gelcoat, and already has the transom demo done. Hell, come get both, just leave the one console for Spare. I need to break down and get a camera.

I told myself that I would be done with boat projects for a while after I finished my Wellcraft. Hell, I haven't even finished it yet. I am going to have to mull it over.

get a pic of that console if you can, I can make the run down to pick it up if it will work

17' McKee Offshoreman is now sold. Another fella from Richmond Hill.
