Anyone in Wilmington NC?
 

Found a boat on Craig's that I may be interested in buying it's just a 4 hour trip for me so wondering if anyone in the area knew the boat. Here's a link to the ad and a couple pics he sent me.

thats a good looking boat for only $1000. I'll be driving thru Wilmington in a couple weeks, that thing will probably be gone by then

Yea. Unfortunately I'm working every day for the next 2 weeks straight. If I could get a good assessment of the boat I'll see about sending the guy a deposit to hold it or something. Guess I'll see how it plays out. He said she's solid other than a spot on front of the helm chair. Probably the chair mounting bolts being the culprit. If the transom is solid I'd buy it in a heartbeat. He said the paint is chipping off at the water line. I guess they didn't prep it properly. But cosmetics don't worry me.

A couple years ago I sold an Aquasport boat to a guy in Wilmington and actually delivered it on my way to our Myrlte Beach annual vacation, so I'm trying to get a hold of him through another forum that he runs for those boats to see if he will help me out. He was a nice older gent with a ton of knowledge about boats so he'd definitely tell me what she's worth.

Hey i just picked up an 80 ,had wrong motor mounts for me not interested doing all that but . Switching trailers this morning and resale , if your interested it is inboard though ,have pics ,but still can't figure out to post

Some clean up and light sanding around the waterline with a decent bottom job and that will be a nice looking boat.

You got the sickness Squids, lol.

Thanks for texting me the pics. Not really what I'm looking for. I wish you had it before I cut up the cuddy I got because she was a V8 boat and that really doesn't matter to me as I'm bolting a bracket on. Put it for sale here and I'll attach the pics you sent me. I'm sure if you put it on Craig's someone will scoop her up. Looks like a nice project.

You ain't lying. These hulls are just too perfect not to like.

Good news is my buddy in Wilmington is willing to go check her out for me. I'm just waiting to hear back from the owner to see if he will hold it for me if I send him a deposit. Hell my buddy would probably tow it to his place for storage if I really needed it. Hopefully the inside looks as good as the exterior. He told me he doesn't have any interior pics and scared as to why he won't just run out and snap some. Guess we will see.

Well guys looks like this may be my ride this summer. Waiting to hear back from the owner but my buddy went and checked it out and was surprisingly pleased. He couldn't believe how clean and solid the inside is. Transom seemed solid to him. He said it's pretty much a ready to go boat without a motor. If I had a Yamaha I wouldn't even need to rig it. Said the paint is actually a beautiful color but is chipping around the waterline. Seems it wasn't prepped correctly. Said I could possibly use a vinyl material "boot stripe".

Hopefully I'll hear back from the owner and tomorrow and get something going. Ready to be on the water!!

Sweet!

How many Vs does that make now, 3? One for each kid right?

Yep that'll be three sitting in the yard haha. But that will be reduced to 2. I'll be perfectly content with a cuddy and a center console. I got a quote to fix my green boat correctly and was hit with a guatenteed minimum of $2200. ill put details on his procedure in that thread but just know I'm having a hard time justifying it. I didn't pay that for the boat!! Which I understand it's a boat so that's normal I just am having a hard time swallowing that since it should of never happened.

Sounds reasonable.
