Default Interesting Hull....

Came across this and thought it may make a good reclamation project it's a 26' 1989 Imperial cuddy cabin. With a like new HPDI 200 69 hrs 2007 mdl still has warranty he's askin 7900.00 obo. I have no desire for a cuddy but thought I might do a chainsaw custom and go back with a small CC and a flat floor. Not a vee but interesting hull none the less reminds me of a Formula or the early Anacapri hulls...? Comments requested, thanks.

Thats a clean looking rig.....if the price is right, buy it, pull the motor and find another hull to put it on......then sell that hull to recoup some $$$$.

To me, that would be easier than making a cuddy into a cc.

I like the lines of the hull, like kilo I am a center console guy. I have no need for a cuddy and the dual consoles don't suit me either. It would take a lot of work to make it a CC.

It looks like the bracket is open on the top and hollow, weird.

If you WANT a project go for it...kinda like why did the mountain climber climb the mountain?..because it was there...

But I'm w/RB on this one...

The leading edge that curves down towards the forward rub rail reminds me of a Fountain. Too nice of a hull to cut down into a CC in my opinion, find an old junky one laying out in the weeds and give her a new life.

Thanks for the comments, I'm really looking for a nice hull I can open up and use for some commercial purpose, space would be a must. Gonna try to use it for Hollywood production crews filming on the water need lots of room for crap. My original thought was to find a basket case 248 and use it, but this is kind of falling in my lap.....

Well yeah...if you've got a specific money makin purpose and that hull w/mods fills the bill, then go for it...

Have you considered chartering for boat footage?...there are a couple of real nice 33' catamarans down your neck of the woods w/PLENTY of room and a very steady ride for shooting footage...for 8 grand plus what you'll put into the mods, you could buy a LOTTA time on the water and leave the driving to another...and STILL be a tax deduction...
