Hurricane 257 DC. Large Deck Boat!

LOOKING FOR A GREAT BUY ON WELL KNOWN LARGE DECK BOAT FOR THE FAMILY? LOOK NO FURTHER! SOMEONE WHO IS MECHANICALLY INCLINED THAT CAN PUT SOME TIME IN THIS PACKAGE, COULD HAVE A EASY 20K+ BOAT WITH A VERY NICE TRAILER INCLUDED! !!! PLEASE READ !!!WE HAD TRADED THIS BOAT LAST NOVEMBERWE GOT THE BOAT AND COULD NOT GET IT TO RUN AS IT SAT UP NOT QUITE A YEAR.OUR MECHANIC REPLACED THE CAP AND ROTOR, THE BEST OF IRIDIUM SPARK PLUGSCLEANED UP ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM AND STILL COULDN'T GET IT TO RUN. FINALLY AFTER PUTTING IT ON THE COMPUTER WE REALIZED THAT THE ECU WENT BAD. WE REPLACE THE ECU ON THE ENGINE AND FIRED RIGHT UP! WE TOOK THE BOAT FOR A WATER TEST AND RAN PERFECT! AFTER PUTTING OVER 2K IN A TUNE UP. THE NEW ECU WAS OVER $1500 ALONE OUR COST. I HAD NEVER SEEN ONE GO BAD ON THESE ENGINES! BUT AT LEAST YOU KNOW ITS NEW. THE ENGINE IS THE UPGRADED 5.7 LITER GXI 320 HP WITH THE BULLET PROOF SX OUTDRIVE! THIS IS NOT A MERCRUISER OUTDRIVE! ANYWAY I WAS GOING TO BRING THE BOAT TO THE UPHOLSTERY SHOP THIS MORNING 2/18/19 TO HAVE ABOUT HALF THE CUSHIONS RECOVERED AND HAVE THE CARPET RE-GLUED IN THE TOILET AREA. IT DOES HAVE A VERY LARGE MARINE HEAD WITH HOLDING TANK.THE BOAT DOES HAVE FULL COCKPIT COVERS THAT ARE IN THE HEAD AREA.I DECIDED TO RUN THE BOAT BEFORE TAKING IT UP TO HAVE THE UPHOLSTERY DONE. I TURNED THE KEY AND JUST HEARD THE STARTER WINING, NOT ENGAGING. IT HAS 2 BIG GROUP 27 BATTERIES IN THE BOAT. I PUT THEM ON CHARGE AND THEY WERE READING 12.5 VOLTS. I LEFT THE CHARGER ON THEM THEN TRIED IT AGAIN. STARTER NOT ENGAGING.I JUST GOT REAL BUSY WITH MUCH BIGGER PROJECTS, AND DO NOT HAVE THE TIME RIGHT NOW TO BE ON THIS ONE.TURN ON THE MAIN SWITCH AND EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY EXCEPT THE BLOWER. TESTED IT AND JUST NEEDS A NEW ROCKER SWITCH. THE TILT AND TRIM FOR THE OUTDRIVE OPERATES VERY SMOOTHLY! THE POWER ENGINE HATCH COVER ALSO WORKS VERY SMOOTHLY! THE LARGE BIMINI TOP ISN'T THE CHEAP ONE. IT IS A VERY HEAVY DUTY BUILT STAINLESS STEEL FRAME.!!! CONDITION !!!AS I SAID EARLIER SHE IS IN NEED OF SOME TLC. HOWEVER IT IS A VERY NICE BOAT AS WELL! THE WOOD DASH PANEL AND GAUGES LOOK LIKE BRAND NEW! THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES ON THE HULL SIDES. SOME OF THE PINSTRIPES COULD USE REPLACING. MAINLY JUST A 3/4 INCH BLACK STRIPE ABOVE THE RUB RAIL ON THE PORT SIDE. I PULLED THE PLUGS AND THEY STILL LOOKED BRAND NEW AND NO RUST ON THEM. WE DIDN'T CHANGE THE ENGINE OIL LAST NOVEMBER CAUSE IT WAS NICE AND CLEAN. I ALSO PULLED THE OIL DIPSTICK AND THE OIL WAS SITTING RIGHT AT THE FULL MARK! THERE IS NO WATER IN THE OIL WHAT SO EVER! I ONLY CHECKED THESE THINGS TO MAKE SURE IT WAS DEFINITELY THE STARTER. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE STARTER WITH A BRIGHT LIGHT, IT LOOKS TO HAVE A VERY CHEAP AUTOMOTIVE STARTER FROM ADVANCED AUTO PARTS. NOT A HEAVY DUTY MARINE STARTER.THE BOAT WILL NEED ABOUT HALF THE UPHOLSTERY REPLACED, STARTER, DRIVER WINDOW, I HAVE A PART NUMBER, AND MAYBE THE BELT PULLEY TENSIONER AND A FEW OTHER CHEAP COSMETIC THINGS.I COULD GET 5K FOR THE OUTDRIVE ASSEMBLY AND TRAILER ALONE! JUST SAYING. THIS HURRICANE DECK BOAT WAS THERE TOP OF THE LINE MODEL IN 2005. NOTICE ALL THE QUALITY STAINLESS STEEL HARDWARE! NOT PLASTIC LATCHES OR CHEAP BOAT CLEATS ETC ETC.!!! TRAILER !!!SHE HAS A VERY NICE ALUMINUM MAGIC TILT TRAILER! WE ALSO HAD BRAND NEW RADIAL 6 PLY TIRES PUT ON THE TRAILER, ALONG WITH WHEEL BEARINGS REPACKED OR REPLACED. THESE ARE NOT CHEAP BIAS TIRES. ALSO NEW TRAILER LIGHTS. SO AS FAR AS TRAILER RELIABILITY, ITS READY TO GO CROSS COUNTRY AND BACK!ANY OTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT JOHN AT CAROLINA MARINE @ phone I HAVE THIS VESSEL PRICED TO SELL QUICKLY! CALL FOR A EARLY BUY IT NOW PRICE. I DO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION.LOOK CLOSELY AT ALL PICS! THESE PICS WERE ALL TAKEN ON 2/18/19 AND NOT YEARS AGO LIKE YOU SEE MOST ON HERE OR CRAIGSLIST!I TOOK ABOUT 100 PICTURES I COULD EMAIL YOU.THEY ARE MUCH MORE CLEAR PICTURES.THIS HURRICANE IS A HUGE DECK BOAT AND WILL NOT LAST!
