If only I knew how to swap two bad 454's for ( 2 ) good 454's

My guess this monster is going to go for less that $10K US

Even if you had to put 20K into it, this seems like one beautiful project boat.

It'd be nice to stumble upon something like this with the expendable cash on hand to fix it. No, this is not my boat, nor do I know who's auction it is, it seems to me like it's going end as one hell of a buy if someone knows what they're doing...............

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Sunk in Saltwater is a Major Issue.........

Changing the Motors would be the Easy Part,........

Rewiring the Whole Boat,........
Now That would be Alot of Work.............

thats why guys like me that are smart enough to know they know nothing about whats going on to shy away and only dream....... seen it once before on my own experience, buy something that needs work that you don't know how to do, by the time your finsihed........

you could of bought one that works just fine for less than what you already spent with money and effort..........

Old and tired axioms apply here. You get what you pay for, you always end up paying for it in the end, It never costs more to go first class, its the devils you don't know that will get yea....

Very intruiging but it would scare the bejeezes out of me.

i caught it the fisrt day it was listed, from the Aktrina autions i saw, i came to conclusion this boat will fall between 9500 and 10K

almost over and can't wait to see the finale on this one. a restore and sale could net someone a nice bit of $$$$ too.

at 40 i never looked at my past until i got into boating this year and realized what could of been........... but as ol' Poppo tells me all the time.

never look back kiddo............... never look back.

At that current price you might be able to make your money back on the bravo drives alone. 8)

It went for $5101 . . . I would've gambled on that if I had room for it.

Re: 1991 - 33ft Thompson for less than 10k

i didn't see a reserve set, so this boat sold for $5100.

your right, scrapping it piece by piece could of brought that back. geeeeeeeeeez

twin 454's with bravo drives on that boat? I bet she flew threw the water when new. I still think unless you are a multi-skilled person that that repair would cost you at least another 20K and at that price point you could buy a freshwater unit that was not sunk.

im a firm believer in what you said. right here in daytona beach shores theres a boat with 2 brand new crate 5.7 engines just installed. 30ft vessel, tower and all.

when i called it was $60K, before we met it was down to 45K, ater we met and upon departure the last line from him was, you come up with 35K in a certified check and you can have it.

a friend is looking ta it hard now. patience wins with boat buying, you can get a great deal with using it....... no doubt.

Twin 454`s with these gas prices are going real cheap now. Still a great deal though.
