If you drove Old Yeller to Long Island, NY, it may work out! :)

its only 897 miles down here, that aint too far to get a Seacraft!
I just drove 1600 round trip to get My 25

:eek:

Wish I could...best of luck!!!

Erik, maybe you should rethink. Take some time to review bildgerat's posts on "Old Yeller".

Boats with a known history, substantial recent work, and cheap enough to put another engine on if needed, are hard to find.

Motor runs great, Its a fresh water motor that I bought off a pontoon boat , Its only been in salt twice , boat tops out at 32MPH and planes out good with 2 people , Kinda slow out of the hole with 4 big guys in it.

I hear ya...can't make the trip though. Somebody down there should definitely pick that up! A nice turnkey Seacraft!

What?, No sense of adventure?
Surely you have a couple of buds that would love
to take a road trip to the deep south!!! ;)
This is a hell of deal from a CSC member!!

It would be a fun trip, but the timing is off.

Before I look elsewhere...I just want to make sure that Old Yeller is taking a cruise up to Long Island anytime soon...she would match my yellow Jeep! :D

I checked Uship.com and got an $872 shipping estimate. OUCH
