I wonder what bow lights were on the ends of these spars:

It certainly has an interesting shape, wide & flat across the stern. Bear to try & come up w/ any hardware & trim that's missing though.

DeBuilt? Never heard of them. Not listed @FG's library either....

Yeah Spokane CL but the boat is in Idaho, Spokane is only a couple hour drive for me.

And Bayview, ID is only about and hour and 10 minutes from Spokane. Didn't you ever want to drive a '58 Chrysler on the lake? :lol:

My only concern would be if the motor is one of the Merc Dockbusters. :facepalm: For the right price it would be a neat project.

Absolutely, a resounding YES to both ^^^

Apparently it's supposed to be spelled Debilt

What could be

Another recently at auction << maybe didn't sell is why it's listed as Realized price not loaded

Better buy another lottery tix, that 1st unowned pole barn is filling up quick & I should probably spring for a 2nd mule :watermelon: Lil' fella's gonna get plum tuckered out moving them glass hulls around all by his lonesome................

Never heard of the DELBILT either but if I were to tackle a glasser, I'm thinking this would be a candidate. Too cool...

That is a beauty. If it were closer...

Fix it up, or just leave the hole in the bottom of the boat to let any water that splashed in drain out...

Boat was hit, actually the Trailer was hit by a car and it shot out from under the boat like yanking a tablecloth so fast all the dishes stay on the table. The boat dropped a foot or so to the ground and put a crack in the bottom about the length of my hand.

14' tri-hull 60 horse evenrude - Dartmouth Powerboats, Motorboats For Sale - Kijiji Dartmouth Canada.

Speed boat 14 foot tri hull, 60 horse power evenrude. Excelent little project needs a couple easy fixes ( seats rebuilt, fuel tank, battery, windsheld , molding repair.) no trailer. Well worth the $500. Come get it. I don't have time for it or the interist. Possible trade for somthing. Motor bike, cars, atv, tools, lumber, or other things combined or separate items.

I'm glad it only needs a couple ''easy fixes''. And I love the grammar. :facepalm:

Re: Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist.

Always the "easy fixes" turn difficult and expensive...

Uhhh, if this was (is) your boat, and it is an easy fix, why not fix it yourself, and if you don't want to fix it yourself or have someone do it, Where is the motor that was obviously on it???????

Looks like this one is the end all, we can finally stop looking at CL.

Best boat deal on Craig's List!!!

Maybe, and I have to admit I have never seen an off center tower before. Who'da thunk?

Didn't they teach you about that in nautical engineering school? That's to offset the vortex torque of the center mass of the exhaust bearing power shield. That's why some of the gauges are inoperable...they aren't needed with an off center tow pylon. :lol:

 

[jbcurt00]

Re: Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist.

Yeah, I like the off center ski pylon set in the passenger seat, but the tow rope pix are have the rope tied to the starboard transom.....

I'm sure the manufacturer would LOVE to see this modified/alternative installation of their pylon:

Well thought out & re-engineered I'm sure.....................

Nothing we haven't seen before (excluding the obvious one of a kind custom sound system), but she looks worthy.

thundercraft new motor

Start by replacing the motor - check
Add stereo - check
Realize the rest of the boat will cost several times what it's worth to repair - check
Set the asking price based on what he already has "invested" - :facepalm:
