Show me your inboard

Hey Chance,

Where did you buy your boat??

The reason why I ask is that about 3 maybe 4 years ago, your exact boat was for sale at a dealership/marine resto place in Long Island. I remember that your boat was owned by the guy who owned the business. As I recall, it sold shortly there after but until you bought it, I had lost track of it.

would definitely like to hear the story as to where and from whom you bought her.

Congrats and good luck.

Hey Ed, I bought it down on the cape. It was in the water on Bass River. It was on this site that I first saw it, but it was also in the cape cod times newspaper. The owner was asking 19,500 at first. I picked her up for 16,500. The owner you are talking about had a survey done on it in 2002 in which it was appraised at 23K. She has a 95 mercuiser 350 260hp inboard. The engine could have any where from 600 to 1000 hours on it. He had it repowered and stated in the survey that the hour meter had not been reset. While in the water at Bass River I took it for a sea trial. She fired up perfect and we ran her for about 45 min. The deck is solid, but I plan on redoing some of the deck hatches. The owner I bought it from runs a boat meachanic shop in Yarmouth MA. She has 3 tanks for a total of 150gal. The fwd tank may have a problem as she runs rough off that tank. Everything below decks is very accessible as pretty much everything can be accessed by removing the center console, 4 screws up fwd. and 8 screws or so aft. Which makes replacing the tanks a breeze as i have already reomoved these deck plates. If you are ever down on the cape, shot me an email and go take a look at her to see what you think. Do you know anything else about this boat from NY? If so please share. Thanks and more pictures will follow in about a week.

Craig, stop trying to egg me on. I don't have to tell you guys how bad I want to put this in the water right now. Remember your first SC [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] As for now, she has had a bath and a coat of wax for the winter. Now the fun starts. Getting her exactly how I want her. I hope this helps the winter go by faster, but somehow I doubt it.
BTW, my name is Elijah, Chance was my last dog, Satan rest his sole.

Your last line was kind of CREEPY. Don't you know all dogs go to heaven.

Your dog ever eat half a recliner and go through your cupboards, after downing a bottle of natural supplements??

Beautiful boat there Chance. If your looking for more info on your boat go to Noreast.com and do a search. You will be able to find the guy that sold your boat about 1.5 months ago.

Anybody ever had to beef up their T-top due to not enough support back aft. my t-top as you can see in the picture has virtually no support aft. The t-top itself is not the greatest design. I am taking it to a guy this weekend to see if he has any ideas. Also on the top of the console when under way you can see the console flex where the t-top enters it. I am going to beef it up on the underside as well, any ideas with that?? Its not to complicated and i'm sure a good marina could make it solid as a rock. Just wanted to see if you guys had any ideas. Thanks

although mine is old and fairly ugly it ties in to the console with pipe running from the electronics box (bolted to the top and to the 4 legs) to the top of the console- and the legs go to the deck, which are attached and held tight to the console with "U" bolts and then bolted/screwed to the deck (dont have access to thru bolt all- lemme see if I can find a pic- its very sturdy-
