Re: Attn Ezmobee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bad news guys....I didn't buy it. It was in too rough of shape and my wife would certainly have executed me if I had drug it home. Now don't get me wrong, the sellers were nice and I think it was technically worth the $450 but certainly not much more. The hull was fairly solid and straight and it didn't look like any important pieces were missing. However the interior was pretty much not there, the outboard just plain frightened me, but the deal killer was the trailer. It was solid and I'm sure perfectly serviceable but it was a homemade type of deal. Having just rehabbed a trailer this year for the Jupiter (and it was a nightmare of a project which I am not happy with the results) I was not looking forward to doing that again.
For me to buy it it needed to have had at least a nice trailer, or an outboard you can still get parts for, or have a decent interior, OR be damn near free. As you may remember, my Jupiter was only $200 and had a Johnson on it.
It will make someone a nice boat. I told the seller that their price was fine and that they needed to mention that it was aluminum in their ad and to add some pictures and I'm sure they'll sell it. I just said it was more of a project than I felt like getting into at the moment.
I'm bummed but I'm sure another will come along. Not to mention I'm pretty damn pleased with the Jupiter right now after how well it performed for a week in Ocean City. Plus I dropped in on my Aunt and Uncle on the way home since I was in the neighborhood and it turned out that my grandmother and all my cousins were already there. So that was nice.
