RE-LISTED! I had a bad buyer on this previous auction that sent me a message saying he no longer wanted to buy the boat. There were a few other bids $1200-1900 but I suspect the bad bidder was responsible for the auction run-up. My intentions were to sell the boat by the weekend as I will be away until Aug 5 as I start a move out of NJ. So, if you buy this boat with buy in now you will need to pick it up by Sunday 7/27 OR be ok with waiting until Aug 5th when I am back in town. I am setting the buy it now price at $1100 as there were several bids at or above this level before the bad buyer jumped in and feel this price is more than fair. I apologize for not going through the process of sending second offers to everyone (I did give notice to the other 2 high bidders) but I want to sell the boat this weekend. I reserve the right to end the auction early if it doesnt sell quickly I am considering bringing it down to Florida and selling it there. Thanks for reading!!
I bought this boat in 2010 from seller inConnecticut. Former owner said boat was used on Connecticut river. I have used it for 1-2 weeks every summer on a lake in Maine so I believe it has only seen fresh water. Every summer I have winterized it and stored it in our garage.We just got back from this summer's trip and the family has outgrown it. The boat ran well for us this summer until the last day when a belt came off the alternator and the belt pulleys are no longer turning the belts. I want to sell it and think someone else can get some more fun out of this boat. You can see from pictures that this boat is registered in Florida but the boat has never made it down there and is currently in NJ.
Included is boat and trailer
Here is the full disclosure on this boat, the good and the bad:
Good:
Boat engine runs strong, boat tops out around 35mph and is smooth running
I had the outdrive rebuilt with new seals after I bought it 4 years ago
Prop is 2 years old and in good condition; I pulled two tubes with 3 kids on each easy and easily pulled skiers of all ages
Horn, wiper, blower, bilge pump and fish finder work very well
Trailer has newer tires and wiring and has worked very well for us
Battery is 2 years old and has worked very wellBad:
Engine not turning the belts so power steering not working along with alternator not charging battery
Boat steering is difficult and I suspect it is related to the engine not turning the belt pulleys
Wood rot in center of boat floor by ski storage in floor
Duct tape used to keep loose upolstery, cosmetically the boat is not perfect
Upolstery is good but several of the seats are not in perfect working order and sit well in boat but will come apart if you pull them up (front/back seats)
Rust on front of trailer by winchI will do my best to provide enough pictures and videos so you can see everything this boat has to offer and what you will want or need to fix. I took 3 videos which I uploaded to youtube and you can view them here:1. Engine videohttp://youtu.be/jWBUakkkEfo2. Interior videohttp://youtu.be/jPacVo3Gwec3.
