Seller Notes:

Super Boat in need of TLC and some repair due to limited use over the past few years. Owner was in North Dakota oil fields for 2013 and 2014 and retired to Florida in 2015. Engines have been regularly started and run well, transmissions have only a few hundred hours of operation and Arneson Drives operated well last time used. A bottom paint and upper hull repaint would add value and it is probably time for new deck and interior upholstery. Diesel generator has been removed and canvas replaced after Hurricane Ike in 2008. Forward and aft plastic windows are due for replacement.

Description:

NOTE: BUY THIS BOAT BEFOREOWNERSENDS IT TO YARDTO BE DISMANTLEDAND CANNIBALIZED FOR ITS VALUABLE ENGINES, DRIVES AND OTHER COMPONENTS.STARTING PRICE IS LESS THAN HALF OF NORMAL$ FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL (WITH DIESELS).

Unique Dealer re-engine in 1988 (new boat was delivered to dealer with factory gas engines in 1987 and wasn't ever sold as delivered). Two full marine, turbocharged/aftercooled CAT 3208TA (375 HP ea.) engines dealer installed with Capital racing gears, #10 Arneson Surface Drives and Rolla props.Transmissions replaced in early 2000s with ZF IRM 280 PLs. When properly tuned boat has reached almost 40 knots. It will easily cruise in thelow 30s.

Only 3known owners. Boat with current owner since late 1990s.

US Coast Guard and State of Texas Registered.Anchored inSouth Shore Harbour Marina (League City, TX) for the past 15+ years.

Super boat is in need of an owner who wants to buy at a super low price and restore it to its former glory.Boat has seen limited duty over the last four years. Engines have been regularly started and run well (each have approximately 1000 hours), transmissions have only a few hundred hours of operation and Arneson Drives operated well last time used. A bottom paint is needed and full hull repaint would add value. It is probably time for new deck and interior upholstery. Diesel generator has been removed and canvas replaced after Hurricane Ike in 2008. Forward and aft plastic windows are due for renewal.

This boat has tremendous value, even if someone were to buy it andpart-out the engines, transmissions and Arneson drives as-is. Owner estimates that the engines could bring $7,000 to $9,000 each...or approximately $16,000 for the two. The transmissions could sell for $3,000 to $5,000 each... or approximately $8,000 for the two. The Arneson drives could bring $10,000+ each, or $20,000 for the two. These 6 pieces alone could return $44,000... then there is the hull, electronics and all the intrinsic components. If the boat is not sold in this auction owner intends to part it out for the above value.

Owner would love to bring the boat to his home port on the east coast of Florida... unfortunately it would cost $8 to 10K to ship oralmost the same $'sto cruise the 1500 miles.Pricing reflects unique hardware, present condition and eagerness to sell.

Owner would consider Class B/C RV as part of payment, use messaging for more info.
