Do all Sc''s have that center hole for fuel lines and cables? ^^^^I kinda like that. All my stuff comes out the same side and boot as the steering cable and is quite messy. Scuffs the splash well even.

Some do and some don't. I have two on each side of the splashwell. It is messy.

I would rather have a center port like the SC above and one on the side for steering.

We had a Crosby. It was a nice boat, until the keel cracked. My screen name came from that boat. The Cr was missing from one of the emblems, so we called it Osby.

Looks like a Gator trailer, would be worth $3-500 in my area.

The only way you get the 5000 is if you physically put 4900 in her :), as in currency. Otherwise I can't see that boat fetching more than 3000 restored. Nice lines but probably a small market. I've got about 6000 plus in my 2500 boat. Lol. 77 Crestliners aren't burning up CL.

It is a seat cushion in the front seat. The ad states $500 obo, yes the listing states $5000.

I could buy that and make money off it at $500, if the motor ran or not.

If the motor runs and the hull is sound it is a great starter boat.

I paid $600 for mine, used it for 8 years, then parted it out for over $1,600. Then I took the hull to the dump.
