I'm currently uploading the photos I took W/my phone of the Niagra and other boats listed in the ad on CL-ma.I'll link to my PB folder when done!....but it's SSSLLLOOOOWWW going.
Over all 3 junke...ahhh I mean boats there, the cheap Niagra; a mystery 16 footer , and way in the back a starcraft bow rider/tri hull.
The Niagra's hull was beat . the bow by the eye had been repaired, the keel looks crushed in spots, huge gouges- maybe grinder abuse? and a big hole in the hull bythe transom and of course the transom is shot. The good points- most of the hardware looks good and original,just dull aluminum not coated, the tall windshield is good- could use some buffing to be usable, some scratches i photoed but could possible buff out. the floor seemed solid and not a lot of holes.the splash well was verygood and the fasteners still looked workable. still has the cable/pully system and the original aluminum 3 spoke wheel -but that is crusty with corrosion .....then there is the trailer....just about ready to buy on the spot for that right there..old style retro holsclaw with tear drop fenders , buggy springs and shocks
) !! waiting to hear back from the guy now.
the other boat shown is slightly better- the transom is shot and the 50 erude on it came from the niagra- they didn't swap out the controls for it and the motor is electric shift. overall it looks like a good parts motor/ still rotates by hand too. no plates-numbers or id to be found. the counter guy didn't think either has a title either bit he wasn't the seller.
