SOLD

Too bad you missed it. Oh well try again sometime...

Saturday, June 4, 2011

See the ebay auction to buy this boat:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150614625897

It's located in Bradenton, Florida 34207. I am selling it for my father as his legal guardian, but I know very little about it. I have the title certificate but my father never transferred it into his name so if you buy it we will probably need to go to the DMV together to get it properly transferred to you.

Florida DMV Identification Number TMS31677H990
Florida DMV Title Number 1627762

The boat is 16 feet in length and the outboard extends about two feet making a total length of 18 feet.

The trailer goes with the boat but I have no title or registration or bill of sale for it; I will do what I can to help you obtain trailer title from the DMV but can't make any promises and you know how the DMV can be.

The boat appears to be structurally sound (no impact damage anywhere or obvious holes in its fiberglass hull anyway) but has been sitting outdoors for several years and is very dirty, all fabrics need replacement, some of the wood especially in the back is rotten, the finish is sun-baked. I don't know when the engine was last run but you should assume it needs to be rebuilt.

Please click on any image to view it larger.



Long silver things in the picture below are helicopter rotor blades and do not go with the boat when it is sold, it's just a convenient place to store them. The thick strap running from front to back of the boat is there to support a tarp and keep the rain from forming a puddle and sagging the tarp, also does not go with the boat when it is sold. Pads on boat's corners are to prevent tearing the tarp that was on it (which does not go with the boat).


The trailer tires in the picture below are shot and will need to be replaced, plan on putting both boat and trailer on another trailer to take them home with you.











The wheels in this photo below do not fit the boat trailer or go with it, it's just a place to store them. The blue stuff is what remains of an old plastic tarp that was once on it.

The canopy fabric in the photo below is shot, like the upholstery, and will need to be replaced.

Gas container goes with boat.







Condition of most gauges is unknown; tachometer below appears stuck on 2,000 rpm.


I do not know if the instrument below works but it goes with the boat.


This looks like an 8-track player to me but I am not sure and do not know if it works.
You should assume the engine will need rebuilding; I have never seen it running or tried to start it.
