Seller Notes: 
Excellent shape for age. Rebuilt engine(10 hrs), new interior(2 yrs ogo), some engine room flooring replaced, new exhaust fan and bilge pump, hull is shiny with painted bottom, gas guage not working, rear flag pole light not working, some minor nicks in gelcoat. Paragon v-drive and running gear all good. The stringers appear to have been replaced, this is hard to tell as they use heavy fiberglass mat to cover. The exposed wood is solid.
Description: 

The Arabian is often referred to as the "gentlemans boat" but I think "Fast, Furiousand Mean" better describes it. When you start up,all heads turn as it sits and rumbles as only a 440 Chrysler can. The V-drive offers a roomy cockpit with a built in bar and a place to lay in the sun on the rear deck.The V hull gives a smooth ride with a big wake for skiing andboarding. The engine was rebuilt with 10 hrs on the clock. The interior was done 2 years ago and is very nice. I bought the boat needing a new interior 3 years ago and that was really all I have done except for the floor.

This boat is so fast it scares me to run full out. These boats do about 60 mph. I hope you have no fear. It is one of the sweetest looking boats from thisera I have seen. It has more power than you could ask for. However, this is a 40 year old and it is not like new, just nice.

A twin to this just sold on classifieds board for $8500, so I think my "buy it now" is really low. The arabian is not perfect, but it isan eye catcher with its red and white upolshtry. The tralier is NOT included, but one is avaiable if needed.

Do you still have the boat? I understand there is no trailer, is there somewhere nearby that sells them to buy one to bring it home?

I’m interested in your Arabian I have a trailer that fits a 17’ Arabian, do you think it would work? What town do you live in I would be coming from New York. Thanks Mike

I can't tell when you listed the boat for sale. Do you still have it. I am interested as I have one to restore now.
