Spacecraft

Here are two Youtube videos of us on the boat. "Coming Back from Boca Grande Pass"

and "Novak Reef 3 miles out"We had it out about a week ago as well for one last trip before I tagged our new larger boat.We can test this on the water at Boca Grande if you like. It's not a perfect old boat. But it's a decent sized boat for the money. The galvanizedtrailer is worth almost what I'm asking for the entire setup. It has two new batteries, a new alternator, and water pump a few months ago."SHE FLOATS" We named it that when my buddy said it the first time that we took it out. Registered with the coast guard. Clear title and trailer registration. The trailer is a galvanizeddual axle.1986 24' (23.6) Spacecraft Boat Works 350 Chevy motor (260hp), Volvo Penta 290 out-drive. Dual axle trailer included. Marine VHF radio, MP3 Stereo, front and rear bimini tops. I've owned this boat for over a year. I bought it in Cape Coral. It cruises nice with very easy to turn steering. The guy we bought it from said the motor was rebuilt in 2013. But he didn't have paperwork. It does look newer. It has a large ice box for fish in the rear in front of the motor. It could be converted to a live well if you put fittings in it and plug the drain.We had the gimble/bell housing bearings replaced, we bought a rebuilt lower half of out-drive. You can have the old drive sitting in a bucket if you want it. It has a new MP3 stereo system with 4 speakers. The Garmin works but the screen is faded out. We sanded and painted it inside and out about 6 months ago. New rear bimini top. It's not a perfect boat but it looks nice enough for an old fishing boat. I've actually had 3 compliments on it just when unloading. This boat is a fishing beast. I almost named it that. We have had it out probably over 20 times and have several videos of our trips. I even posted some on Youtube. We took it out two times a week sometimes. The cabin interior of the Spacecraft boat is just old vinyl cushions and it needs a headliner. But I didn't worry about it for fishing.It's just an old boat. The out-drive hydraulic ram motor does slowly drop over about an hour or so after raising it. It doesn't leak. I just used it like it was because the drop is so slow for trailing it home. I would drive home 30 minutes from Boca Grande and it would still be half way up for backing it in. The rear bimini top is new. The front bimini top is old. It's not bad looking but it's getting stretched and some snaps are missing. The interior headliner is missing. I bought headliner material for it you can have. But I never cut and installed it. It's a 4 barrel carburetor and it runs great but it's hard to start when cold. It runs great once it fires up. It will start with a single hit of the key once warm. I was just actually thinking that the automatic choke isn't working. I carry a can of starting fluid for the cold starts and it fires right up instead of cranking it. So I never worried about it. It's a boat. So it's always something.We bought a larger Sea Ray 27' boat with two beds, a bathroom, and such a week ago so we decided to sell this one. It's a nice upgrade but this Spacecraft is a much better open fishing boat. My wife likes the idea of a toilet and camping in our new one.I did take out the fish finder for our new boat.
