Obviously garage stored and comes complete with the most HIGH TACH equipment available. This is a boat anchored in reality?:faint2:



EDIT: Appears to have last been registered in 1992

HMMMMMM..... Seems a bit steep for a 40+ year old boat that also looks like it hasn't been run in 12 years.........

However, if the cinder block anchor comes with it, I will call that a done deal. I will just have to wait until the check comes in from the Nigerian Prince I am helping out!!!!:lol::D:D:D

Sweet cabin cruiser. Notice that he used particle board floors, had a window shaker A/C unit, and of course doesn't run.

Update yes I still have the boat if you see this ad I still have it.
No it won't start has not been started in years batteries are for sure dead. When it was blocked both motors were running and properly winterized so are they good in theory I would say yes but has been parked for years.
It is on blocks and will require a trailer to be moved
No you cannot take it out for a test
Will need interior floor replaced, I did it but used press board not a good idea for marine use. Also will need to fill window where an air conditioner was.
This is a 1500 boat you are paying less then what the 2 out drives are worth so in no way should you expect to buy this and go boating this weekend.

Just to be clear

Seaswirl? That's exactly what the sea would do when you pull the plug on her. Sink that puppy. Let her rest.
