Re: 1980 Sea Nymph SS 165 Rebuild
Thanks guys! I am really amped to drag this thing home!!! I got a suuuuuper deal on it! I left the down riggers behind to sweeten the deal (they were manual anyway) but I did get some
great stuff with it! I'll post up some booty photos at tear down
Bob - I was thinking that the 90 would be rippin quick on this little 16 footer, plenty quick!! So why is it that I am so drawn in by the words you typed up there ^^^^
I may need to look into that mod when the time comes
Whoaaaa nelly.... let's maybe pump the brakes a little bit before we start chopping up that glasser... That looks like a pretty decent hull... Take her wallet, keys and jewelry, but don't hurt her... Seriously, I'll drive up to Michigan to take that hull off your hands...
OK, to my good buddy PMC and other bleeding heart glasser guys out there...
This boat is a classic case, check it out...
The seller was a super nice guy, farmer, runs horses, hard worker, just a great guy all around. See, he too was drawn in by the beauty of the glitter boat. He was out at the lake last year, saw this Arrow Glass on the water, skiing, fishing, having fun - and he bought it right there, on the spot, right at the dock!
He ran it one time and noticed flexing at the transom. Brought it in, did some checking, yup sure as sugar,
rot. Totally rotted transom. So he started going at it, tearing everything apart, pulled the cap (actually, the cap and deck are all one piece/liner deal) and everything. He dug out the foam, prepped for transom/glass work....
As he was going along rebuilding he got to thinking...
"Man, this fiberglass boat is a TON of work! Sheesh!"
So, he then saw his error, the sky opened up, the room got brighter and up for sale with the bondo boat. He even asked for an
aluminum boat on trade in his ad.
So yah, this here glasser will find her way to the land fill in pretty short order
Unless somebody wants to come get it? Man, I'd feel pretty guilty putting that on another man though. Kinda like giving away a snagel toothed diseased dog with three legs. That bites.
"Here, he's great with kids!"
YIKES!
