Re: chrysler boats? any good
I had a '77 231 Courier Hydro-Vee 17' with a Chrysler 120h O/B on her. Loved her too death. She had power to kick you know what but she was too big for me to handle alone. I wanted another boat and I wouldn't sell the "Titanic II" until I found another Chrysler. Working with a buddy of mine I was buying his little Escort, we turned down his street to go look at his car and there she was, another Chrysler! I knew it a block away. I bought 'em both! It's a '79 Sport Satellite with a Chrysler 75h. His Dad was selling it, he told me make an offer. I jokingly told him $300 and he said sold. It was a pass-down from a family member, he had bought a new fishing boat & was selling his house, he just wanted to get it out of his yard. I took it to town to have her checked out, put about $200 into the motor and she scoots just as good as my 120h did. I'm replacing the seats and the carpet, clean her up a bit and re-doing the rollers on the trailer. For $500 going in I haven't even payed for the value of the trailer yet. I got lucky! I like the tri-hull style, more boat in the water. Everybody has their likes. I like Chryslers. It'd be nice though if I could just figure out a way to drag along a gas station.................:confused:
