Description

Here’s a few ideas before you jump in and buy a Boat…

Every boat is a project boat. Some boats are more “project” than “boat.” The good ones are more boat than project. That’s a simple fact of life. If you have ever notice “wave runners”, they are constantly in the shop for repair. It’s a simple reason, the boats are like little motorcycles and they run them with the throttle wide open all of the time. If you are buying a boat that some teenager had and beached it regularly, then you are in for many a problem. The larger boats, over Thirty feet (considered Yachts) are not very economical with wide open throttles. Boats this size are not known for "beginner" or entry level boats and consequently are usually owned by more mature enthusiast. Every once in a while, you can get your hands on a boat that is being completely retrofitted or rebuilt, sometimes from the ground up. With brank new, off the showroom floor boats this size, it's not unusual to see a half a million dollar price tag. It's simply more economical to pick up a real classic, one that has stood the test of time and is known in the Yachting circles as a "keeper". You don't see these kind of boats on the market very often. So if you can find one of these project boats that are about ready to hit the market, don't hesitate, you may not get such a chance again. Here is one of those boats:

This was under power and hit an underwater obstacle, thought to be a submerged log. To play it safe, the boat was put onto the hard and the Insurance company was brought in to do a "Survey" of what may be wrong. Of course a mechanic or boat marina doesn't make any money off of used parts or reconditioning existing parts, they ran the bill up to Four Thousand Dollars for the Props and a like amount for the Shafts. They bid in new brass rudders and by the time the repair bill was totaled, it wasover Twelve Thousand Dollars. Most boaters know that prop's can be reconditioned, cleaned up and live to fight another day for about $200 each. Those who know mechanics also know that a drive shaft in a car can be straightened if bent and rebalance again for about two hundred dollars each. There is no difference in boat drive shafts. a couple of hundred and they are good as new. So I can fix the boat myself (although you can't work at most Marina's as they want their own Mechanic's to fix it, kind of a captive market) and launch it for double the price. On the other hand, you can buy the boat for about half of what it would retail for on the open market. You decide. I fix the boat it's $50,000, you fix it, maybe you could get lucky and the bids might come in less than $25,000. Keep in mind though, it's the start of boating season, and the boat is listed locally and we reserve the option of taking the boat off the market and sell it to the highest bidder. Call me if you have any questions;
