V20 Restoration Fla

[phatdaddy]

biggest problem with rot is the drain holes in the stringers where they meet the transom.
$1.00 worth of resin would have saved a lot of heartache

Ok guys big question for all of you... I have done 99% of the demolition on my V20. I am not wanting to do the final restoration of the boat due to many reasons.. Mostly financial.. I would like to sell the boat and motor (150 Johnson..needing work).. I have a dual axle trailer that I would sell with it for another $400.00..

I have bought the materials glass and resin to redo the stringers and bulkhead repairs.. Also have some extras that go with the boat.

Just wondering if I am in the ballpark with the price and how to advertise it.
I know its a project boat. the hull is is great shape. Don't really want to get rid of it but prevailing circumstances require it

Thanks for any input you may have

Sorry to hear that Royce :( It's really the wrong time of the year to be selling a boat, in any shape. If you can hold out until springtime you'll have a better chance of getting the dollars you're asking.

I'd not include the materials with the sale personally. Sell them on eBay separately. Better chance of getting your money back instead of just giving them away in a fire sale.

Thanks for the insight... It is almost spring here in fla.. : ) I will hold off with the materials but need to get boat listed... I think I read or heard some where that where ever there is an old beat up boat there is an old beat up boater that wants it.. Maybe I can find him

sorry to hear your selling the boat, whats wrong with the engine? im looking for something thats workable. i have a lot of spare 85 johnson 150 parts. any pictures?

Dont know what is wrong with motor... Previous owner said it was running last year.. I know it needs wiring... It does turn over and don't look to be in to bad of shape.. The skag is missing about 2" off of it but easily fixed I think..

Will post some pics when the rain passes through
