This is a project boat, but has so much to offer. I just don't have the time for the project. No reserve, I just need room for a new project. I have $5k in brand new SEI drives, an additional S&J inline 6 engine block ready to go (one cylinder on port engine was low compression) so I just ordered an additional block. All parts for everything are here, some not pictured. Boat has great bones, except the transom needs re-glassed on the inside because of some water intrusion, I even have $400 in TotalBoat products (resin, etc) ready to finish transom. Boat has a full sunbrella mooring cover that was only used indoors. It has the entire canvas and eisenglass bridge cover which was only used twice, new in 2014, still in the PVC pipe shipping containers. Interior of boat is beautiful. Triple axle trailer is in great shape and surge brakes work. I ran this boat in fresh water last year (summer 2020) before deciding to overhaul the entire thing. The starting bid is less than the trailer and SEI drives are worth, let alone the entire boat and additional engine block. I have all the original manuals and brochures and service/rebuild manuals for engines and drives. I just have too many other projects and other opportunities occurring to get her finished. Good luck, hope she finds a great home. I may be able to help with delivery within a few hundred miles if I can find the time.

I have had a couple questions I wanted to clarify:

I have all new outdrives for this SEI brand upper and lowers one is counter rotating (what you want for twins). I have rebuilt/new transom/gimbal housings.All engine parts are there, including an extra brand new crate motor from S&J. exhaust manifolds were replaced in late 2000s and are in great shape as this boat was in Lake Michigan for the last decade or more.It does come with the stainless tower which is removed right now, also has outriggers and again the full surround canvas for the helm.If you aren't into fiberglass work yourself (the transom repair), I was quoted $800 for the labor and I have all the supplies, if you know what you are doing it's a simple fix as the rot has mostly been removed, and proper filler is already purchased.I would think this would easily be bid to $23k or more, but at this point just need it gone, this is the reason I have no reserve.****I can help deliver and can also hold boat (it's in heated storage) until May 15th if needed. I will still require full payment after auction end within 7 days (if you would like a physical inspection of boat and everything that is fine, could also do a video "virtual" face-time tour or something)
