NIce, is ther e a thread anywhere stating the specs of a savage? what the story on this boat? Why? Well from the pics, it looks exactly like a hull I can grab for free if I just take it off the property.

Awesome, I will check it out, I know the deck, transom and stringers are shot but that is no problem really. Armed with my new info I am going to investigate tomorrow and am bringing a camera too so we will see what it is

This was just a lucky find. The owner told Ken he thought it was a Seafari. Thats why I went to look at it. At first glance I was disappointed, we both thought it was Sceptre. Upon further inspection we realized it was a Savage. Needs Transom and front deck but fortunately the deck and cap are rock solid. Scott if you can grab a freebie jump on it; someone on this site can probably make use of it.

Way to go Dave! Nice find for a rare model.

Ok, so it was a dissappointing journy, first problem is he had no title on the hull, which in Mass and RI means the boat is an anchor at best. Second is he had given it away last night to a person who wants to make a plug out of the hull and build his own. He fugured I wouldn;t have wanted it had I known there was no title and the last owner passed away about 3 years ago, I have been in this situation before and it was almost all but impossible to get papers on the hull in question. He was right, I wouldn't have taken it in any condition knowing it was in legal purgatory so to speak. I never saw it so I couldn't check to see if it was indeed a savage. Oh well, win some, you lose some.

I would have however passed on the location to anyone who still could have done somthing with it had it been still available.
