thanks guy's, it is a nice boat, has all the original stuff, the electric seat works all six functions, the original "t" top latches, thats odd, but it's the color that I've been looking for ever since I been looking for a scimitar. The finish is not perfect, but not bad, I plan on doing it like I did the other one this winter. The trailer is Great, tires are like new, brakes, bearings and all, it has had a re-inforcement added up front that I don't really care for, but can be corrected easily.
I tried to buy this boat about 3 years ago, missed it by about 1 hour, thats when Roger bought it, he's had it in the water 3 times, he had the cover made for it out of the "sunbrella" material, re-inforced in all the right places, when I went and looked at it, several months ago, was probably the first time the cover has seen sunlight.
The exhaust manifolds have grown some rust bubbles, port side cracked, I'll replace them, the "whale tail" gotta go, the motor covers and back seat needs re-uphoulstered, but the front seats and carpet are good to go. The floor, stringers and transom seem to rock solid, I hammered and poked all over it, but we all know ya just Don't know about one of these boats until you check it out with a drill bit. Roger was the second owner, I'll be the third, the original owner said the hours were correct when Roger bought it, the meter indicates 208.2 hours now, some of the boat looks like that could be correct, but the condition of the finish, and the back seat, could indicate it has been used more than that ... who knows ?
I'll get some more pictures soon, but for now it's covered up real tight, with two covers, in my back yard until I get the Celebrity out of the shop, another week or so, then it's going in the shop for the winter.
Jerry ... it's about the money, I'm not going to give the stroker away, and if I keep it for this boat, I'll tune it down to be more affordable to drive, if thats "trashing" it to you, I differ with your opinion.
