Re: Buying a 77 Beachcraft 18 ft boat
I know about engines. I can tell if an engine is in good condition or not. I use to build them for fun. This boat is a Southern California boat. I am sure there is a change for the hull to be rotten but because of the weather here does not get that cold here not very likely. The person is only asking $2000.00 after paying $1800.00 for it, getting the top half of the boat repainted ($600.00), new interior(???) and just completed a 50 hr service. I was just planning to use it for the summer (which in Southern California, it started this month) with my 9 year old boy then sell it. I just want to have fun with my son during the weekends. To rent a Pontoon in the local lake is $300.00 per hour. After 7 hours I am ahead of the game. I have had 3 or 4 boats before, all new,2 had 25k to 30k in custom built motors (Jet Boats) and a 24 ft deck boat. After my divorce I got rid of a lot of toys because I travel a lot. I only come home for the weekend to play with my son. Right now I work in NY and live in CA.
