Default Re: Project boats

Sorry for the delay have been out of town at mother in laws for the holiday, I fish for Bass, Cod, Fluke, and would like to venture off for a little shark fishing! I had a Hydra Sports 24' Vector and sold it to free up dough for an investment, hence the search for a cheap boat that needs work that I can drop money into bits at a time. I may be in luck while sitting around fat and bored after Thanksgiving I decided to go out and buy there edition of the want ad and found a 23' Formula I/O so I called and decided to take an hour drive to see it, we'll start with the good bottom of boat is immaculate original gel a few nicks, the sides will need awlgrip a bit faded and some nicks and scratches, the top deck is nice as well as gunnels, brightwork is mint this boat was fresh water used only, the bow rail on one side is bent a bit will need fixing, now to the bad stuff, the I/O is removed THANK GOD [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] the transom needs work as well as 4' of the stringers, there may be some good though as they have removed the floor and the wet foam that was in there, the gas tank bulkheads also need replacing, and the cabin needs work. I can buy this boat and trailer for $ 1000.00 trailer will need some TLC but I should get a year out of it as it is not galvy or AL but painted steel. Whatta ya think??
