I Gotz The Feva! MBS

[CBGale2]

:facepalm:

Well..... I couldnt resist. She's a '75 16ft SS, hull is clean and not all beat, trailer is in OK shape but needs some work, no motor. The guy bought it with intentions to fix up and got it 75% gutted out, then ran out of time and money so he decided to unload it. Only had to drive 6 miles to get it too. Its going to get moth balled for now. All the dash and windshield pieces are laying in the boat out of picture, he didnt take the best care getting it all out but for the most part its all good, one bent up dash top, one side window is broke, and the frame on one of the windshield got tweaked..... nothing that cant be easily fixed.

At least you saved on gas money only 6 miles away. If she didn't pack your bags you might be OK. Good bottom feeder find.

Re: I Gotz The Feva! MBS

NICE!
You usually dont get much boat for $260.00!
You do of course need to fullfill your wife's prophecy and go all in!

Re: I Gotz The Feva! MBS

My wife is onto me too. She wouldn't let me have a free Chieftain cuz of how much she knew it would end up costing

Re: I Gotz The Feva! MBS

Excellent score Charlie, nice work dude!

I think every household in Michigan deserves a 16' SS

Is she gonna be a fishing rig when all done?

 

[CBGale2]

Re: I Gotz The Feva! MBS

Fishing rig for sure. Im contemplating on making it into a center console, considering the dash/windshield pieces have their issues anyways. Thinking a raised area up front with a removable seat, two more seats in the back, and seat at the helm.

And the wife did not make me sleep out in the boat, I have the best wife ever!

Now Im going to leave this up on the computer so she can read that.

Re: I Gotz The Feva! MBS

Nice, every household needs at least two Starcrafts. What color is this one going to be, I say red like the Falcon was. That was a great looking boat.

Re: I Gotz The Feva! MBS

Nice find on the boat. Same year and model as the one I have. It will be a great project for you.

Re: I Gotz The Feva! MBS

Wicked good find there Charlie. Can't wait to see this fishing machine come together.

Re: I Gotz The Feva! MBS

Got a little better shot of the old girl in the backyard. I think that trailer has every possible color of paint on it, looks like someone let their kids make an arts and craft project out of it. :facepalm:

This is about what Im contemplating doing with it. My buddy Chuck that I get parts from came across this '86 a couple years back. It was a 16ft also.

Re: I Gotz The Feva! MBS

CB - Great find and a good looking model to follow. Can't wait to see how long it takes to turn $260 into $2,600.

Re: I Gotz The Feva! MBS

Just accepted a job over near Ann Arbor today. Anyone wanna buy a project? :facepalm:

Re: I Gotz The Feva! MBS

Oh man Charlie, congrats buddy! Are you moving or try the commute thing?

Good news is you'll certainly make money on this boat
