If I was looking, I'd be on that like Stinky on Chit! ;D

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

So what was that? was it an IO with a bracket on it? that is what it looks like on the outside. On the inside it has an outboard motor well and the sea wall ??? Or maybe a OMC Sea Drive conversion but that does not explain the motor well.

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

I have seen other Duallies with that same configuration. It looks like the sea-drive option was an afterthought and thats just the way they closed the outboard notch. ByGraceAlones 86 has the same set up, its in the gallery.

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

hmm........I may go look at that ::)

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Yep thats a Seadrive unit, they added a bracket and never fixed the holes??
I hoope they didn't use it that way, rot the hole transom getting water in there!

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

CY. Is that near you ??. yeah man, go check it out. ;D

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

doesnt look like a seadrive to me ??? looks like a regular bracket?

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

just emailed the guy with a whole bunch of questions, we will see what happens ::)

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

my wife is gonna kill me :-X ::) :-/

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

CY, get the wifey a V20 thong from Ches. It will make her happy. If it doesnt, it will make all of us happy. ;D ;D

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

So where do you sit at up front on the bow ???
I see the back cushions, but nothing else. ??? ???

Listed for $500.00 bucks and no takers :-[ :-[

I'm wondering if I should redo the transom in my 78 or not now. This is a new V, mine is older. Hmm. :-/

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

there are missing cushioned seats that go there, look at Lumber's gallery.

and easy there big fellow I saw it first >:( ;D ;D ;D

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Chris it it is solid and you can get it and redo it for 500 bucks that would be a steal.

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Cy, if you go, let me know what it looks like. I've been killed by the wife plenty of times, it ain't all that bad ::)

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

thats what I was thinking willy.

I asked him some questions and here was his answer


"I think it had a omc sea drive before, I do not know who put the bracket on but it was a suzuki dealer in NJ. the boat was repowered in 98 and had a 225 suzuki. I removed engine and controls for a different boat. it ran mid 40s with 225 but engine was mounted too low. if it was raised up acouple holes would have run faster. boat is at 2431 bennett point road queenstown md 21658, can look at any time. it is in front yard." :-/

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Nah, I dont want it. I'm just worried I wont get anything back in the 78 V with a new transom. I planned on asking 5 or 6 hundred for it when it was done. I could just be waisting money if I do the work and then no takers. :-/

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Chris you should round up any semi retired golf pro's you know from down that area ;D tear them away from the office window for a road trip and check that puppy out ;)

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Sounds like a good idea.....hope Air has his ears open ::)

Hammer....you up for a road trip??? ;D

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

No road trips for me. Not unless its to HOOTER's. ;D

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

That's the same exact year as mine!

I'm not sure what the basis was for the way it was done, but that's actually a hatch in order to access the hydraulic fluid and the electrical for the sea drive. It also serves nicely as a built in seat.

I'm trying to see if the guy will sell me his windshields and enclosure. You might also notice that there's no steering and it's hard to see if there's a dash on it or not and no seats...

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Still cant believe none of our members hopped on this baby. :-/ ??? ???

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Hammer,

I think people have gotten a lot smarter with Ebay auctions. Most people use sniping tools these days to buy things just seconds before the auction closes. So now the whole point of having a longer auction is to simply get exposure to as large a group as possible so that they will all try and outbid each other just seconds before close of auction... Nobody wants to show any part of their hand.

The whole system has it's strong and weak points.

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

I'm toying with buying the thing myself... We'll see what happens as we approach the close of the auction.

However, he'll probably get $1000 or so for the hull. But then again, no trailer, no steering, no seats, and possibly no dash/gauges, so maybe not even that. There's a lot of work to be done there even IF the hull is in good shape.

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

How's your Dually going, you get the motor running and at least get her wet ??
You been lying low again. :D ;)

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Hey Hammer,

Yeah, I've been taking care of some landscaping around the house :-/

I've got the dually setup pretty good. Got the motor running, but she's idling considerably high. I just found out that one of my neighbors is an outboard mechanic so I'm trying to work in a time when he can come and look everything over before I take her out on her maiden voyage...

Not long now, I hope!

Thanks for asking bud.

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Dont forget the camera when you take out for teh maiden votage. ;)

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

SHE'S ALL YOURS MAN....I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT, BUT I GOT NO WHERE TO KEEP IT TO WORK ON IT. :-/

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

BGA, if it goes reel cheep, I may be interested. You could have everything but the hull & bracket. I don;t need another boat at all, but I do have room for it. Make make for a nice project boat?

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Cy, thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do, but I just wanted to make sure I don't step on any toes. You saw it first and brought it to our attention. Thanks!

Air, sounds like we might be able to work something out here. I suppose it will come down to how much the guy ends up wanting for the thing. If nobody buys it off of Ebay, he said he would sell me the windshields and enclosure, but he didn't give a price. However, if you or I simply buy the boat for the opening bid of $500 (hoping nobody else puts in a bid), then I think we can both get what we want.

As you said, that would be a GREAT project boat, but I would hate to have one of the projects be for you to find windshields for the thing later down the road. Been there, doing that... But if you're up for that, then that would be great. As I said on another post, I don't need another boat; one is quite enough for me.

Anyway, let me know what you're thinking when you get a moment.

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Sound like a plan you guys, Air gets the hull, BGA get the windshield, and I get teh Bracket, right AIR. ;D ;D ;D

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

...and I get free fishing trips for life - right? ;D

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Well, I'm thnking that it may turn into a center console, so not really worried about windshields.

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Ahhh, nice. That would be interesting and should be quite doable.

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

THAT WAS MY IDEA :'( :'( :'( :-/

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Go for it CY, you had first dibs ;D Heck, if I could get a cheepie and a freebie.....maybe we can finally make that V-23 ;D

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

Just found out he has it listed locally for $2500...

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

I hope some one gets it that boat has a lot of potential

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

he will never get $2500..... ::)

Re: Bracket Dually Cheap on Ebay
 

well boys, either BGA made a deal or he sold it locally because bidding has ended :'( :-/
