Well since I have scraped my Lund and have all the parts sitting around I came across this posting. Only 15 miles from me........oh so tempting to go look at it, and would have a fall project. I mean really I have a empty trailer, I have a complete good motor and drive for it....oh the labor that maybe involved....

Give me some reminding wisdom not to even go look at it.....HELP!!!!:eek:

Well, with the drive and motor out, it should be easy to determine the condition of the transom and stringers. If its cheap, go for it!

Sorry, I can't talk you out of it either... I'm no where near done with restoring my boat and I'm already planning my next restore. I miss my old fish n ski... Mainly for the fishing part, so I'm contemplating a real hunk of junk that comes cheap with a 70 to 100 hp outboard that I can turn into a fishing platform, or maybe I can just find an old bassboat in need of a full on resto!!! Dang it... This boat fixin thing might be a disease...

Oh yeah, Icyharp, are you still hanging around, you should have that boat loaded by now... :D

Show him a $100 bil and I bet he takes it ! I'd go for it.

Dude you know we're all junkies for fixer-uppers:) This just might be the wrong place to be talked out of anything. I think the $100 bill approach closes the deal too and for that price who could argue. Go get it...

Ya I figured as well that no one was going to really try to talk me out of this. I plan on calling today, and see if I can swing by and take a look. Sunday is about the only day I can grab it anyway...we shall see.

Went to go look at it and although may have been a good project just way too much work to retro my 188 into it. So I passed, so I guess I got myself out of this one. But I am still on the hunt.....lol.
