Trailer is matching yellow Sundance brand that came with the boat---tandem axle with brakes and new lights---We restored this boat complete---we had planned to keep it "forever" so didn't spare any expense---built with the very best parts---My job only allows us to use it 1-2 times a year---it needs to go to a family who will appreciate it and use it as intended when new.
Bottom of boat in good condition---this boat has had a few very minor scuffs & scrapes over the years---has been touched up in a few places professionally. V8 jet boats require routine maintenance. We winterize the engine in the winter months---and have it tuned up in the spring every year. If you are looking for a boat that you don't have to check on at all---this is NOT for you! I generally look over the engine compartment every time we take it out. This is a classic boat that is over 35 years old----very nice but not brand new!!!Also includes newer marine battery, new travel cover, storage cover, radio & lots of additional parts---We also have a large tube, several sets of skies, life jackets, tow ropes, etc---that are available to purchase--or work into a package deal!
We also recently lost our storage space due to my father getting married & moving---Sacrifice at $14,500 Will entertain trades/partial trades for a C1 or C2 Corvette---project or complete.
