For 2k I would of bought it with a hole in the bottom!
I paid $560.00 on eBay for a 23 Secptre with a crashed nose.
Paid $1400 for a used trailer, plus $300 for new tires.
Drove 1675 miles round trip, 1 night in a motel, fed two friends that helped me get the boat, plus $400 for diesel.
God only knows how much the re-do will be once I get to it.
Bottom line, 78 Potter Hull----- PRICELESS !!
See ya, Ken

Hey Nobones, I was bidding aginst you. But the guy got me the damage pictures too late.
I told him that I would buy it if you backed out. But he said you were willing to go 10K on it in a bidding war.
And if you backed out I would have to pay closer to that.
I think he was a bit of a dreamer.
I hope you post the repair pictures as it goes. It 's hard to see from the angle shown but it's a challeging repair. I was looking forward to another fixer, but that would be a cool boat done.
I was going to make a wooden mold of the broken pieces and make new bow parts to glass in.

Hey Big Mike,
If he told you that he was trying to squeeze you.
Even Capt Chuck, was going to take a run on it.
After we picked it up and got a good chance to look
at it, the damage is not all that bad. We loaded the thing at 8:00 pm after driving 14 hours straight. Turned around the next morning a headed back to Daytona (everybody knows Daytona) another 14 hours. We were all beat, even though we switched off drivers. We used Tarpun's 1 ton diesel Ford van to tug her back. After a good nights sleep, gave the
boat a full inspection, no soft spots anywhere, stripped of eveything. except for one big hornets nest in the forward starboard vent. Right now she will have to wait about 4 months till our new home and monster garage is done. I will take plenty of pictures and keep all posted on the progress.
I restored my 1970 20SF 12 years ago. It was a complete gut
inside and out. $27,000 invested. Can't wait to start the
Secptre, plan to replace transom and raise to 25 inch or
close in and bracket, the jury is still out yet on that.
Thanks for the encouragement. Also your ride would have been
a heck of alot further. probably a 3 day trip.
See ya, Ken
