"I
bought this boat from a guy's backyard. It was sunk |
|
| 79
120 Chrysler |
down
in the mud and was full of leaves, mud and rot. |
|
| |
I
paid $2500. for the boat, motor and trailer. After putting |
|
| |
$1000.
more (decking material, carpet, vinyl dyes, etc), |
|
| |
and
a LOT of labor into it, I completely restored it. |
|
| |
The
carpets were faded out Gray, there was no front deck, |
|
| |
and
the control console was a disaster. Not a bad boat |
|
| |
for
$3500 if I do say so myself. I love it now and it runs |
|
| |
like
a scalded dog!" |

"Enjoy
the boat a lot. No problems so far, have owned 2 |
|
| |
years
now. It's a shame they don't make them anymore. |
|
| |
I
have 1 complaint with the boat; with any gas in the tank |
|
| |
at
all there's a strong smell even in the storage |
|
| |
compartments.
I took the gas tank out; no leaks at all, none |
|
| |
at
the fuel lines, vent tube is ok. Just wondering if anyone |
|
| |
else
has this problem? Hopefully this year a 150 will be on |
|
| |
the
back; with the price of new boats that's my only hope. |
|
| |
Great
rough water boat for size. If no motor this year at |
|
| |
least
a bigger prop to lose some rpm anyway. |
|
| |
Really
enjoy the website." |
