Texas Maid ??Bahama??

[jdret]

Found what I believe to be a fifty something Texas Maid Bahama. Just curious how rare these boats are. They don't seem to pop up too often. Fella says it's a 16 footer. He's sending me some more photos tomorrow with all the lumber off of it...hopefully with some better hull shots. I'm 99% sure it's a Texas Maid....just a little shady on the model. He's asking $250.00.

Ayuh,... I can't answer your questions,..
But,..
$250. is about $300. more than I'd pay for it...

I'll just bump this back to the top for ya...

Looks like a Texas Maid, but can't tell because of all the clutter in the photos. If he's seriously asking $250, wait awhile and then offer to haul it off for free...I bet he'll bite. Looks like a "wife wants the boat gone" situation to me.

I dont know why..but the phrase "You Know Your A Redneck When.." comes to mind

Just dont wait too long to get it for free...he might just say you can have it if you take all that other crap with it LOL .

YD.

I have a similar Texas Maid that I got from a neighbor, but he was a dear friend. I will say one thing, it is all aluminum and probably worth that in scrap prices. In other words don't expect to get it free.

You're absolutely right. That is exactly what the owner of a '57 Lone Star Malibu told me. He was asking $225 for boat and trailer (not that the trailer was much to speak of), but he had already been quoted roughly $200 in scrap.


I'm still mulling over this one. The owner was suppose to send me some more pics earlier this week. I'll give him til Monday, then I'll probably right it off and keep looking.
