perhaps i'm lookin for a needle in a haystack. (nebraska lingo ya know :) ) anyways. i've looked at 10 maybe 12 boats in the area. 8- 10 of thems was more spent than what i got. and they want 3-5k for this garbage. floors soft. holes in the transom open to sea water, mercruiser 470's, lateeda. is this the norm for $5-7k priced boats.

if it is. i'm gonna have to fix what i got. .

i aint found any hip designs of boat either for bow riders that are any hipper than what i got. dashes look disorganized. windshields that captivate ya. i want to rest my arm out the window and have my hair blowin in the wind when im cruisein. i don't know. i think i'm gonna have to restore what i got. the prosess is underway..... very large project though. full restore. i'll be lucky if i don't have to take the top off. and 'if' i have the skills to be hip. i don't know. nothin ventured, nothing gained, ay? i am hopein iboats will get me thru the blues when i got them. and i think there comeing. i want my trisonic to be hip i think.
one thing i will say is that in the boats i've looked at. one thing stands out. boat motors are not to servicable. and my trisonic is much better than most in that respect. i think for a layman. a inline engine is probably a good thing.lookin for a inline 4 or 6. i still like what i got. spent or not. unspendin it a little bit at a time.....wish me luck in my advernture....want some pics of the frickininzation that the last rebuilder did??? i got some. i think, don't engineer yer boat back together. it won't last. i guess mine did from 98 to 06. 8 years for engineerin...i think i want to try harder.....

Re: junk

Expand your search area. Consider a road trip of a day out, one overnight and a day back in the cost of your boat. The search is time consuming and can be frustrating. Hang in there.... you will find one.

Re: junk

i agree ziggy, i want feel the wind. not being enclose in glass. i bought one a while back and removed the side glass, and added a windshield support pole, it made a big difference. it now has a new owner as it was a project boat.
