^^^^ from the ad;

This boat does not need to be winterized which will save approximately $300.00 dollars a year.

I sure hope the perpetual winterize works in Roff, OK. It's 19 degrees in Roff, OK at post time. :doh:

As I live in Weatherford OK allow me to translate that for you.... "does not need to be winterized" = "block is already cracked and drains itself" You're welcome! :lol:

You just have to get the silicone into the cracks real good Mick. Just putting the stuff on top would be half a#%ed.

Only needs cleaning? I know not!!

I have a Bluefin Spectrum and I picked it up cheap because it was neglected. I tored that boat down to aluminum only and it is one built tough boat for a riveted design.... I mean the stringer system is beefy.. and the gunnel tops add super strength and the transom 'well" is beefcake.....its still stripped, waiting for a summer project....but don't bat a shady eye at that line!! Ive stripped 3 starcrafts and think the Bluefin is a stouter boat for its size

I don't know about other areas, but why do so many folks want to sell their boats without even a picture? A blank screen with a few words about wanting to sell their boats and how to contact them. But no pictures or good descriptions. Some don't even have a price either. WHY?

That's the craziest thing I've seen for a while :(. I bet you would feel like a "king" going down the lake sitting in the chair 15 feet in the air :)
