Re: '88 Duallie...Now w/PIX
I did call the guy a couple of times about the boat.
Kajun I had talked to him before you made that it's sold post.
I did want to give you a heads up.
I got him down to $3200
Hull is great.
Motor and trailer is another *story. Guy says the he has had the boat for two years and used it once. During the one use it overheated.
The guy said that he would not sea trail the boat although he is less then 5 mins from a boat ramp.
Boat is not in his name and comes with the orginial bill of sale and registation from when boat it 2 years ago.
He is refusing to sea trail the boat. He said that it did run good on ears though. But after that, he said I still won't put it the water.
He also said I can't warrenty the engine or the trailer, you have to make a decision.
Oil injection has been disabled.
Trailer needs all 4 tires and wheel barrings are in unknown condition.
the steering linkage was locked up but now it is free after some wd40 .
Gauges work sometimes
If you buy the boat, buy it for the hull and plan of a repowering shortly after.
I think that $3200 is good for what it is though. But the boat is not turn key.
If the boat was not 6 hours away I would buy it without question.
I am still thinking about it, but Kajun you go and look at and if it still there this weekend I may give my self a few days to get it home.
Kajun if you decide to look at it and don't want it I will buy it from you and pay you for towing it back to Hampton Roads if you still live here?
I was suppose to go pick the boat up today and I am off work but the sea trail thing, overheating, *it being a 20 year old outboard made me think twice.
Mercurys aren't the most reiable things out there either.
Good luck just giving everyone a heads up.
