I agree that would be a very cool boat. Truly a cottage / home on the water

Yikes, only 14 years old and looks like that... Probably never spent a day under a cover in its life. Brutal.

Yup, and it would have to be virtually free to be worth even trying to save it. Unless you are willing to use it as is - and that would be wrong. As a Malibu owner you are required to wipe down every inch of the boat and polish to a high shine after each use ;)

I wouldn't pay $2k for that but I'm not going to lie, I kind of like it. My first thought is why somebody would put over $4k into building that when they could buy a pretty decent used pontoon for that price or less (in my area) but I guess there is always the satisfaction of a DIY project. Definitely unique!

So he's never had it on the water, but it's FAST!! At least it's all there! Spying the handlebars sent me over the edge--ROFL!!

I didn't notice the handlebars. But I suspect he might've tried it out once, judging by that dent in the bow you can see in the first picture.
