Not sure this is funny but if the hole in the boat is so easy to fix why doesn't the owner do it then? I guess the love of labor only goes so far for 7500....

"1959 Duarte inboard V8 Packard engine. Interior of this boat in very good condition. The wood top is in need of sanding and re-varnishing. The hull has a small hole that will need repair before putting in the water. A person who has the skill to sand, paint and varnish would really appreciate this boat. For me it has been a labor of love. I am the 2nd owner. The boat has been stored under cover for the last 6 years."

The first two pictures look at least 30 years old to me. He says the hole in the hull is small, but I suspect it isn't all that easy to to fix. Cool boat though.

not a project, but was interested in the unique design of the 110 hp Johnson OB


1993 Sunbird Eurosport 19' bowrider powered by a great running 110hp Johnson outboard. The hull and floor is solid and the seats are decent; good galvanized trailer included.

A collectors dream, has been stored lovingly. So much original intact - chrome, beveled glass windshield, needs some TLC - mainly carpet and seats.

Has original title, motor will be needed - the haul is recommended for 60 hp, no more.

Whats a measly 100 bucks. You can do it. It says 60hp but a nice gas sipping Merc 402 would look handsome on the transom.

They called them quietriders because the outboard cowl was covered under that housing.
