Thanks Therm!!

I saw 2nd one of them boston ones already but have not contacted the guy.

1st one sounds great that ity has all new decks and stringers which are one problem these seem to have.

One in FL is set up nice and is a OB already, I hate i/o just never had good luck with them, but hey for the right price I will take one and convert later?

I am so confused!! What I need to do is get rid of mine so I am ready to go!!

Thanks guys!!

That second one that Ferm posted from the Boston Craigslist says that the anchor is included. What a deal! ::)

What is it with people that makes them think they can sell their boats without the anchor? I've bought two boats that didn't come with anchors... Strange.

How about a 25 foot Chris Craft Dually?

There's one in Baltimore for under $5k, but doesn't seem to come with a trailer. Looks clean though!

Responce from the FL Formula auction over 6 days

Yes I can tow it to long beach but we have to through in an extra $45 for gas. ( Funny, he will tow to Biloxi Ms for free. But wants $45 more to go the 18 miles to Long beach??) THe decks are rock solid I had the center deck replaced with marine grade wood that had been treated with west system two part epoxy so it will last longer than the rest of the boat. Not one soft spot on the entire boat. I do not have the compression number from the motors in the last 100 hours but I do from when I bought the motor a year ago and will gladly look those up for you if you would like. I do have all of the service records from the dealer for that motor since it was new. The bracket was on there when I purchased the boat it had an old evinrude that started to give me problems so I got rid of the motor and put the new one on that is what sparked the restoration. If yoyu have any further questions please feel free to call me

Responce from Wellcraft in MI. auction ove 20 hours

yes the trailer is going with the boat it is an alluminum trailer that I have used to take the boat back and forth to Florida. The boat doesn't have soft spots and yes it has a step up to the forward walk around deck. I will transport it to most places for a dollar a mile.

So this would cost me like $850 if he towed it to me.

You know MJ, you may have swayed my decision on what boat I want to get in the near future. There are quite a few of these 23' FORMULAS down here that need engine work for not alot of money. She definately has nice lines to her, and is definately built off of the legendary RAY HUNT deep-vee design.

That's actually a pretty reasonable fee for transport, especially given the price of gas...

I am all for that Formula!! I also found a few here and I am supose to go look at one Monday up boston way and he will take me for a sea trial.

I had seen this one before and put on the back burner, but then Therm brought it back up so I called the guy, He says all is solid and runs great!

I guess we will see on Monday? But I have to still sell mine :'(
