1969 20' center console project

bitsamonkey · #1 01-23-2010, 06:51 PM

Hello all,
Some of you may remember my sinking/recovery adventure from this time last year. I had all intentions to rebuild this hull, but have run out of space and time and will have to pass it on to someone.
Up for your consideration is a 1969 4 stringer, drains out the back, tank above deck (at least it was before I scrapped it) center console with no combing cutouts and a single casting deck hatch. It's a hull only: no console, no engine, no trailer. This is only useful to someone looking to do a complete overhaul on a classic. It will need a cap-off reworking of everything! But look at the bright side... do it your way, no excuses and do it right. Why buy an old runner that's going to need a transom, tank and deck anyway and don't kid yourself 99% of them do.
Asking price $500.
Telephone number 786 252 2622.
It's on stands in my yard. Bring a trailer and I'll help you load it. Good Florida title in my name.
I'm having trouble with the Photobucket part of loading pic's but will keep trying. You can PM me and I'll forward them for now. $25 paid to forum.
Thanks.

Huh...no rod lockers forward. 1st time I have seen that config except here !

clearly a worthy boat. Good Luck.

I thought there would be more interest. Would it make a difference if I asked less money, I mean by the time you're done you'd have purchase price plus materials into it so does it really matter if it's $500 + $3000 or $250 + $3000? $0 + $3000?

My guess would be, everyone is thinking, do they want that much of a project.

You're right. If this were any other boat it would be ripe for a chainsaw and the dump. However, from the amazing work I've seen done on this forum, it is totally possible and worthwhile. So with this in mind, THE BOAT IS FREE to anyone willing to tackle the project. Please come and get it before it does end up in a dump. Hey, when you're finished and it's all gleaming awlgrip and stainless you will have some nic pic's of it before sitting in 25' of water with some trigger fish swiming around it...best before and after ever.
