1982 Rabco 35 Foot VIOLATOR, completely rebuilt just a few years ago and has been sitting since she was done. This boat is Famous in the Tampa Bay area The Violator and has been featured in major motion picture movies. She underwent an expensive complete rebuild and then major illness caused it to sit for the last 2 years. The motors, outdrives, steering and complete rebuild has less than 40 hours on them all. A complete file was kept on the Violator with most of the receipts, warranty information and specifics. The rebuild cost nearly $100,000 and used only the best of the best parts and superior and experienced off-shore racing mechanics. About the time she was completed, the economy changed and health issues set in. So she sat for the last 2 years without being started. She needs batteries and will need the motors gone through thoroughly. This boat needs a new home with someone that likes to run 35 Offshore Boats at 75 MPH.SPECIFICS:

- Mercruiser Bravo Diesel Outdrives: the offshore mechanic that rebuilt this boat used to work for a major offshore racing team and said if you can afford it, buy the 136 Diesel Mercruiser Outdrives. They will last you a life-time of worry free performance because Mercruiser Diesel Outdrives use heavier bearings, metals and overall heavier build on these drives. They cost more now but it will be worth it when there is no repair bill.
- 280S Kay Trim Planes $4300 installed. We really only used the best parts on rebuilding this great boat.
- IMCO Full External Hydraulic Steering IMCO has been a leader in engineering and manufacturing of winning marine performance parts since 1976. Every IMCO component will add unrivaled performance to your boat. Being a winner was never easier. These IMCO hydraulic steerings really are the cats meow. ($6000 Installed)
- Gaffer Monster Series Gauges. Again we went with only the best when we rebuilt this boat. The gauges could use new rings with various color options.
- GPS Speedometer
- New Inner Transom and rear stringers when she was rebuilt.
- New Electronic Drop Out Bolsters when she was rebuilt $1100 a piece when new. (Needs new upholstery when you do the back seat and back deck)
- 8 Color Paint Job with clear coat (Cost $20,000). The boat will need the paint touched up in a couple places and new clear on the topside but the paint is in really good condition. (See Pictures)
Complete rewire when she was rebuilt.
- Aluminum Slide-On Trailer Included. Tires were replaced 2 years ago and only on the road once and have 95% of their tread. (See Pictures). I am not sure about the breaking system and I would inspect them before a long haul, if you are going to take this boat out of state.
- And much, much, much more I cannot list or remember. I can barely let her go but I know I will not be able to take her out anymore. So she is looking for a new home to someone who will take amazing care of her. This hull has been brought back and being produced again from Rabco as this is an amazing offshore hall that is slender and stable at high speeds. She cost nearly $100,000 to rebuild + the cost of the original boat. Someone here will get an amazing deal on this handyman special. I prefer it goes to end user but I can certainly understand that a boat dealer could make some serious money on this boat too.Terms of Auction: $1,000 Down through PayPal and remainder in CASH at time of inspection (Within 3 days End of Auction). I require you to come in person and inspect the boat before you complete your purchase as this is an As-Is sale. Keep in mind though she has been sitting for 2 years anddoesn'trun. The motors will need to be gone through and other miscellaneous items related to sitting.Good Luck!
