Has a price on it as $ 5798 so must be hopeing for about that on bids. It looks mint from the photos but can only see the front. Laso looks almost like a showroom area.

Scroll way down to the bottom, there are 23 photos.

That is not a price, it is a stock number. Current price is $837.

The motor looks so clean, I wonder just how little or how much, is wrong with it?

rawhide-sales, is a youth charity group.
They take donations and sell them to support their charity work with troubled young men and their families.

It is still promoted by Green Bay Packer Legend Bart Starr.

Im sure they have a min price and would be suprised to see it go for $5ooo. More than that I expect. Very nice boat and in prim. cond. also with T/T the 800 and some is just a bid price. Pay to watch the item

There's no reserve. It will go cheap. Could be a heck of a deal as that's a $1500+ motor by itself if it's in good running condition. Plus the hull looks real nice, straight and complete. Nice splashwell mod and new seats.

10 hours is a long time on ebay. Wait until the snipers get off work this afternoon.
However, it does look like a really nice boat.

Re: There is a nice one on ebay

mine is nearly identical to that one except i have a 70 hp on. i've been watching this on ebay as well. sure looks like a nice rig. they removed the center console under the dash and at one time there should have been cushions for the two jump seats on either side of the splash well. if you look close you can see they made some plywood cutouts and covered them and put that on the seats. my wife made a good point that they may have done that to make it easier and more like a step for the swim platform on the one side, otherwise you'd be stepping onto a vinyl cushion with wet feet/shoes.

looks good though.....my 18 is just the right size..not too big, not too small easy to tow/launch/load and perfect for a family of four.

i can squeeze almost 30 mph as per gps out of my 70hp

Re: There is a nice one on ebay

I threw a snipe bid in, but I had my $$ limit a bit low.
Got home from work at 10:30 and almost forgot to check on it.

If I could have drove over to see it last week, I probably would have bid higher.
If it was 1n 18 SS in that condition, I would have been willing to go a lot higher.

The one thing I wish they would do, is show photos of the engine with the cowl off.
Would be nice to know that all the parts were there.

Re: There is a nice one on ebay

Roscoe I am sure the high bidder had a lot more comitted than what He paid. Had that happen to a color F/F a few weeks ago. Sniped 100 over what I thought it might bring and lost it by 3.75. It was listed on the buyers web site the next day,for 35 percect more than he paid. A lot of people buy low and sell high. It looked like a very nice well kept boat but may have been detailed to look that way.
