What do you guys think!
 

I saw a local add for this boat the other day. 76' cuddy, new trailer, hardtop, 225 Evinrude needs work. I talked to the owner briefly and got him to send me some pics.

Here's my deal...I need a new trailer and would love a hardtop. This is a one year old trailer (single axle is what I want) and the top looks pretty decent( although needs some repair). I would try to unload the rest, I don't think I could go wrong, what do ya'll think. From the pics it looks like a seadrive unit. The deck has been redone and the fuel tanks installed below decks. I thinks it at least warrents a look.

how much is the seller asking?

Re: What do you guys think!
 

Wow! At first I thought this was the stolen boat that was posted this morning. 76' Cuddy with a hardtop, how many of those can there be with a hardtop, but the stolen boat was I/O?

Re: What do you guys think!
 

Whew, I was thinking the same thing AIR. ;D
So how much ???

Re: What do you guys think!
 

Never seen a sliding hatch like that, with two rails and the hatch knotched out so it slides straight. After market idea ??, not a bad idea if so.
So your looking to just take the trailer and hardtop and sell the boat ?
What does teh engine need as the owner stated "Needs Work".

Re: What do you guys think!
 

HaHaHa...Hammer...all the older model's slidin' hatches are like that ;D ...you spoiled w/ your update ;)...


LOVE that hull w/ that full transom ... even if the motors shot(I'd prefer it reely). that'd make a NICE PROJECT 8) ...

Re: What do you guys think!
 

Sorry guys.....Asking $2500 . It sounds to me like some wiring on the motor burned up. He said the motor ran well before that. Yes, my thought was to get the trailer and top and resell the boat.

Re: What do you guys think!
 

well the motor you have to asume is junk, but you have a nice full transom there for a bracket refit ;)

That trailer is about $2000 new? So what you are doing is getting the trailer & hard top for your money.

If the hull is as good as you say, and you clean it up some, you might get $1500 for your old trailer and shot motor & Hull.

I am sure the guy will go to $2000, that means you will be out of pocket $500 for the trailer & top, not to bad.

Offer him $1500 he doesn't have to know you just want a few things and then dump it.

You can always go up if you want the boat, but you can't go down! Offer $1500 Max $2000 is what I say!

Heck after you get it you just might like the idea of a full transom with bracket, repair it and sell yours ;)

Good Luck!

Hammer my 75 has the same hatch!! ;)

Re: What do you guys think!
 

Thats a nice, but odd hardtop. Wonder if you can stick curtains on. Seems a bit to far forward, but anything is possible. Thats a nice trailer, Sounds like a good deal, plus you can get money back on it for selling the boat.
Go FOr it !!. ;D Where's it at Va. or Jersey ?
