So I posted here a few days ago that I caught the restoration bug, well I found the perfect boat, hesitated, now its gone........sigh 
I know I said I wanted an aluminum v-hull runabout, i.e. early to mid sixties Starcraft, but this would have fit us perfectly. I waited to talk to the wife to get permission, even though I had authorization to do whatever I deemed necessary, and it's gone. I can't get this jewel out of my head. I am pretty mad at myself for second guessing this one. To make it worse the wife has prodded me a little about not jumping on it......
So here's the one that got away. I am thinking of calling the lady that sold it and asking her to call the person who bought it and see if they just bought it for the motor. I don't want the motor, just the boat and trailer.
This 1961 Invader is 16.00 in length and has OUTBD propulsion. It has a 1973 Johnson motor with 85 horsepower. It needs some work to be brought back to life but is a beauty. Owner has title for both the boat and the engine. MUST GO TODAY!
I hope someone sees this and says, good thing you didn't get that boat because they were...............
