Next Boat Project

spareparts · #1 03-14-2016, 08:05 PM

OK, I'm thinking about selling my McKee. I'm going to take my V up to Sneads Ferry and probably leave it up there for the season. I've got the Sea Ray Sundeck for the family ride so its time to think about what kind of boat to replace the McKee when its sold. The McKee is just a little too small, and that tri hull rides pretty rough. Its a good boat thats stable and floats shallow, but I want soemthing a little bigger, bigger than a flats boat, but not something as big as a V. 18 Seacraft comes to mind, but they are way outof my price range. 17 Mako/Aquasport, maybe too small???? 18 Whaler outrage, waaaaay outof my price. I don't want a boatthat needs a total restore, thinking 115-150 power. 18 Wellcraft maybe? 18 Privateer? Barracuda? any other good ideas? I've got all year to look for a good start, has ot be a project, only way I can afford a boat

There was a cheap Aquasport 196 up your way on cl a few weeks ago. Want to say like 800 bucks with a trailer.

Angler had an 18 footer(or 19) that can be found for cheap, and it floated pretty shallow. I had one before, and it wasn't ahalf bad boat. Road ok in a chop, and my 140 pushed it to mid 40's. The pro line 17 is another one that floats semi shallow, and can be had for cheap.

I know where a 17 proline is, and I had a 20 proline. Been thinking hard about them.

I'd sell the T top, knock off the windsheild and the front seat.

a local guy has the mold for that boat, I though about geting him to pop one out and let merig and finish it. I like the lines, but its a little smal for what Im after, that Dolphin is perfect

Dolphin is like 3 or 4 miles from me if you want some eyes on it.
