1bayouboy,
Good guess, but not an intrepid. Not gonna be real easy to ID. I bet someone here can nail the ID.

Here is a hint, it's a 1970 hull and I paid 9k for the hull and trailer. :)

Jason-
Your right I can ID it. I actually paused on it's ad in Louisiana on craigslist. Heck of a deal. If I recall.............The boat was in Ft. Lauderdale and moved to the other business location. "All hard work done" New transom, ect. It's a 28 Formula/Arronow hull with a 10ft beam. The builder's name begins with a C.........??? I can't find the Ad from last night. Nice find! Drive it like you stole it! Because you really did!!! :D :D Hey, are your trailer bunks under your transom??

Snookerd!!!

I knew that someone on here would have had to have seen this boat. It was quite a Gamble, leaving after work, driving to Mississippi to look at a boat that was located in the Katrina disaster area. I looked over the photos 1000 times and called the guy. I believe everyone was scared it had been swamped and tore up int he flood. Well, it had not, if fact, it was and is in supreme condition. The hull is about an inch thick on the bottom. It has awlgrip which was done right. New Stainless fuel tank, New fuel hose, New Bilge pumps, New trailer tires. I am very excited about this boat.

When I saw the boat, I simply could not believe that they were letting it go so cheap. Unfortunatly, in the area, they had no choice. I felt bad, but they were happy to see the money.

The hull is a 1970 Cary. Designed by Arronow and built by Elton Cary. Completely restored.

Snookered, I did steal it, but the deal did allow me to sell my seacraft at a low price to a real friend and allow me to upgrade. The seacraft still stays close and allows me to dive off of it when ever I would like!

Jason-Incredible boat. Those like new 250's have a slightly bigger hull to push now..............I bet that are great for weight and power on that hull. Good to hear about the Tsunami staying close to home ;)

The trailer bunks are 6" short of the traomsom. I asked the guy to load it so that it had some tongue weight due to having no motors. Notice the wench stand, the boat is about 6" short.

Ok, so your back 6" on the trailer farther than you will end up, when it's pulled forward, next time you load it.

Nice boat. Post some performance and fuel numbers when you get a chance to run the thing a while. Are you gonna do some diving off the new rig? Thanks
