I suspect I will have some performance tests as well.

Post by: thedeuceman on February 17, 2015, 12:54:10 PM: mostly out of curiosity, a mutual friend told me about this blue one in the pix, thought i could basically pick it up.
after talking to the owner it has significant sentimental value, he feels its worth $1500.
its 455 powered, and even if the motor and jet is good i think it would be quite a stretch.
so don't look too hard.

Boy I dunno Joe. IF the hull is sound & the motor/pump will run. $1500 ain't all that far out. Least round here?

I will tell you those things are difficult to get in & out of. Not "utilitarian" by any means. But what the heck, you got another boat for that ...

Post by: thedeuceman on February 17, 2015, 07:00:48 PM: He did not say how long it's been out side, just that he parked it in "the shed" 10 yrs ago, cuz the steering and control cables were hosed up. and at some point the shed fell on it and broke the windshield.
Looks like the alum rub rail is tore up.

Post by: 75starflight on February 17, 2015, 07:04:55 PM: I think it took a hard hit in the bow by the way it looks. and what is up with the added bracket by the steering on the jet?
