Nice boat, but what's with all the windows?:D

Thanks :thumbsup.

I've never been a fan of the port-lights in the hullsides.

The forward windows have served their purpose when running solo. Nice to get something out of the cabin and still see where your going.

Being that the boat is an '83 and we've owned since '87, it's safe to say that we never would order a boat that way. Unless it was a Flybridge Sportfisher :D

Price seems way more than fair. The SBC in recent, no? Center bolt valve covers. Very clean and I like the party seating. :thumbsup


I have my late Pops day cruiser and I just don't know what to do with it.

Thank you :thumbsup

The original engine was just the MerCruiser 260 package, my grandpa had Gary Teague swap it out in '93 and add the thru-transom exhaust.

The seating configuration is nice we've had 9 adults and 3 kids in it at one time. Plus it's great for a nape :p

I'd keep the boat, providing I had the room for 2 boats, a golf cart and a tow vehicle at my place at Mead. Fact of the matter is I don't nor do I have a big group of people with me every trip like I used to.

So it's for $ale.

While I love this boat it's been the death of us. We've invested over 20k since 2016 after buying. Every year something goes wrong. Currently out of commission, fixing fuel line. When it runs he's a freaking beast and stereo can be heard miles away. Definitely an eye catcher when launching.
