The guy clearly did no know what he had. He needed the money. I called him before I left home for the 2 1/2 hour drive there to verify the asking price. He acknowledged that it was $900 but said if I got there right away he would take less. Funny thing is I thought it might be a typo. $9000. Obviously too much but I think the boat is worth between $5000 and $7000 the way it sits.
I never even started it. Wanted to get on the road before he had a chance to change his mind. The next day I turned the key over and the thing fired right up. Sounds awesome.
The interior is all original. The clear coat is border line. My fiberglass guy thinks that he can bring the luster back but there may be some residual yellowing left over.
It will never be as nice as Brian's or Scott's but for the price, if it runs, it will be a fun addition. As Chris said, the jet will work nicely on the Colorado River as we have lots of shallow spots.
Thanks for all the nice remarks.
