Pricing & Transoms

Is this the CC your looking at?

Thats been up there for a while and I think a couple people here looked at it and passed. But if you are also looking at the Savage I think you're talking about - I recommend the Center Console [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

If that Savage you're talking about is red yer gonna break my heart. I'm talking to the guy on it now. It has old twin 87 Yamaha 150s on it, an aluminum transom cap, and does need some work. I'm trying to see if it will fit in with what I want. Besides, you don't want a savage, right?

forgot to add - I don't think either boat is worth the money being asked in FL. That CC was also originally at 9 or 10K and someone bought it REAL DAMN FAST to try and turn around and make a buck.

Thanks for the info. You all now how it is when you have your heart set on something and then something comes along that you can actually afford.
After some thought I do not think I have the time for a project boat, I barely get to use my Whaler as it is. My wife actually suggested I spend more money and get a boat I can use in my limited time off than always working on it, can you believe that!!
John- I am not sure if that is the boat we all chased for 9K, I heard that was at the sales yard in Pompano. It does seem that it is a bit pricey for the work it will need.
I am going to look at the Savage tomorrow and see what it is like, not sure if I want to give up the space forward, It comes in handy for Kite fishing down here. I'll let you know.

I'm tellin ya, you don't want to give up the room [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ...

I'm pretty sure thats the same boat - a few of us found it the day it went up on BT and it was sold witin minutes. It showed up again about a month later for 15-16K or so but I beleive it to be the same boat. I had a pic of the original one (now off to the digital disk gods)...

Fellas-

I hate to say it, but we all need to find a different brand of boats to be interested in. Especially when someone in Florida buys a 23 for 9K and turns around and tries to sell it for 15k (or whatever) a few weeks later, or, some NJ used NJ car salesman in plaid pants is hauling up Seacrafts from down south and turning around and selling them for 20-30k.

The sad part is, I guess we only have to blame ourselves and JASON for developing this great site! Plus I should be grateful for that nice 23 Mako I already own.....but there is something about tearing an old Seacraft apart in a barn and rebuilding it by yourself that keeps me coming back for more.

Ed - thanks for reminding me [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

ychtcptn - have you checked out this one? http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/6/6/40679966.htm Its been up there for 3-4 months and has had a lot of work done AND the wife pleasing big console (porta potti) ... More than I want to spend but if I was in that range I'd check it out. Being that its been up there for a few months, can probably be had for 18K or so.

I think CMB is chasing the best value CC out there right now. By the boat, unload the twins, put a big fat single on the back [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
