I spoke to him. He is blind and does not have pics. I told him to talk to John Cranston! Boat is stripped, has new deck, new stringers, and new Center console, he claims it is buffed and sanded. But no pics it is a long trip for me to take a chance.

Yeah Jack I saw that ad last week...... I think Cheramie down in Grand Isle should go pick it up and do both 20's at the same time.....everything is always cheaper when you do 2 at a time........except ex wife's ...

I wouldn't mind some pics... Have a friend who's looking... Too far to drive... Not enough data to justify flying out...
Just keep one thing in mind while taking the pics: "
wife is going to kill you wife is going to kill you wife is going to kill you"!!! LOL...

A great find, especially if an original center console ......... but keep in mind, someone is gonna die at the hands of their spouse on this purchase !! :-D

DAMN!! That is a 2.5-3 hour drive for me!!!
Im not even looking but damn $600!?!
I think im going to try to check it out this weekend. I might tell the wife I'm having a drink with the boys. I'm sure I've got $600 in cash hidden around here somewhere. I'll just have to find a place to park it in the meantime!

Piss off the wife and that could be the most expensive $600 boat you have ever seen !!
Along those same lines ....
Years ago, I worked with a woman that just loved clothing.
She would shop and stash the clothes in the trunk of her car.
After Hubby went to work, she would get her outfit of choice out of the trunk and wear it to work.
When Hubby would see the outfit and comment, she would say "oh this old thing, I haven't worn this in ages !" .... or say "I wore this 2 weeks ago, you never notice me !"
Pretty damn sneaky !!

he is currently holding it for a guy in Florida. Said that is a today deal only. I told him if that guy doesn't come through let me know. Left him my number.
The poor fella is pretty young, lost his sight in a hunting accident a few years ago and can't work on it. Has 3 young sons too.

Yes, but yal don't have a gem like mine.
I actually told her I was going to buy it. She said "you don't like your boat now?" (My b25 project). I said yes! Love it so much I wanted his little brother. And I explained why it's nice to have a small boat/big boat and she was kinda sad I missed it haha.

Steve: When faced with that quandary some 10 years ago I said "I get the dog, the boat, the houses and the cash." She said "what the F do I get?" And, I responded "the opportunity to terrorize another poor fool."
