1988 Celebrity 210V Cuddy
305 Mercruiser 200hp
We have the exact same boat except mine is on a tandem axle trailer and a different color
Its a work in progress all we need to do now is replace the carpet and stain the wood. Buy a ****ty old pickup with a V8 and 4wd to pull the boat. The minivan feels like its gonna blow up at 6000rpm uphill towing 5000 pounds. Next we will replace the ****ty 1980's digital gauges that don't work. Yours will clean up nicely Steve ours looked rough when we first got it too. New wheels made a big difference.
sucess!!!!, picked her up in Pensacola for a song,1999 22BR, MINT!!! Only 320 hrs, Yamaha 350,a nice addition to my fleet!!!!,
P.S. Did i mention she came with all the paperwork O.M. bill of sale ect.......( gloating)
I have the 305 5.0 200hp Mercruiser Alpha 1 drive which is a brand new rebuilt and Installed 3 weeks ago and the lower unit was rebuilt at the same time if you look at the pics of my boat youll see the lower unit isnt on but now we found I need the lower shift cable because we cant adjust it with the cable being worn so that will go in next week when my mechanic is back in town....I also need to take some new pictures because that awful brown stain is now gone and she is all cleaned up with the exception of repainting the bottom which I may do this coming weekend was just waiting for the weather to stay above 45 degrees at night. as for the carpet you were talking about I thought about pulling mine but the boss (my wife) came up with a good idea, we are going to get some good outdoor carpet at Lowes and cut out a piece to fit in the boat so when it gets all messed up over the summer we can pull it out with no worries and save it for a template for next year.........as for your minivan it is so funny because we also have a Chevy Venture minivan lol it is a 2001 Warner Bros edition but we dont tow the boat with it I have my 1995 Chevy Tahoe 4X4 to tow with its my Huntin Fishin Towin truck thats all it does lol other than that it sits in the driveway next to the boat lol
Marine your boat looks VERY well maintained very clean very pretty good luck with her
My boat has that same brown stain on the bottom. The guy who owned the boat before me worked for my mechanic. His shop is on a big hill at the bottom is the Galien River. So the guy who owned it before me kept it tied to a tree in and was living off of it for a while. I'm gonna try and get this stuff off too. Our 210V has the 190hp Mercruiser 3.7LX which is a big 4 cylinder.
We really work our 2000 Olds Silhouette Premiere. We have had it since I was seven, and now I'm 16. We keep the boat at our summer home in Southwestern Michigan and live 60 miles away in Chicago. We had some Mexicans clearing the land between our house and the beach. They had a half ton Chevy with a makeshift hitch and this huge homemade trailer full of foliage and whatnot. So he was saying we need something like that V8 4wd, it would handle our boat fine. Our minivan roars uphill with it at 4500RPM and spins its front wheels like crazy on the ramp.
Well this weekend if it doesnt rain I will post new Pics she is all cleaned up and the bottom painting will be done by then I actually just put a nice new depthfinder/fishfinder/gps on her so I will take pics of the inside too I cant wait my mechanic will be back on thursday or friday to put the lower shift cable in and she is all ready for the water and hopefully Sunday weather willing she will hit the water!!!!!!!!!!!! woohoo
here she is all clean and the bottom freshly painted
as you can see she is sitting hooked up to the truck waiting to go!!!
Very nice Steve:
I read somewhere that the more axles you have on your trailer, the bigger it makes your boat look. I didn't believe it till now. Your boat looks great now. I need to upgrade to a real tow vehicle like you have.
