So the time has come. I've owned this boat since '05. Love it. But with the family and little kids, it is time to go a little bigger. I will keep updating this thread as I take care of a couple things on it.

It is NOT perfect.

The gel can use some love as well as the trailer and the cowling graphics need to be replaced.
Needs new bilge pump switch
The tires are 3 years old (the 4 on the trailer) and are still in great shape.
I just re-did the rear bench wood and the seat bottom was completely re-upholstered.
The interior is in pretty good shape. Working stereo with 2 6x9's and a 10" woofer under the bow in the front bulkhead.
Bob's nose cone with low water pick-up.
Dual cable rack and pinion steering.
Column mounted "blinker style" trim switch.
Lenco electric trim tabs
Hot Foot Throttle on a slider
Comes with 2 additional lower units. 1 I had originally lost forward, and another I was given in kind of unknown condition.
Comes with a jack plate that I got from Chris on here as well that I never got around to installing.
Comes with a 26 chopper, a 22" 3 blade of unknown maker, and a through-hub Cleaver (don't remember its specs).

Oh, and the boat has no reverse. The lower unit that is on it was "race prepped" from a rave team on scream and fly and that includes shaving the reverse shift dogs.

I'll get my pictures as I clean it up some more, in the mean time, here are a couple from a few years ago.

Oh, and no more Bimini after a wake surfer swamped us while we were going about 15 mph (barely on plane) and bent the frame all to shit.

I'm thinking $6,500

Haha! Sorry about that. Lowers are easy to come by, but this does include 2 additional lowers that should have enough good internals to make 2 good full lowers.

Cowling gel is good. It's just the decals. They have been readily available from some online sites. I know outboarddecals.com used to be one at least.

Boat is in Burbank, CA.

very cool boat
It is. It's only 18' but is pretty big inside and has a deep enough Vee that it actually can handle chop better than most 18'ers that can run deep into the 60's and if set-up is dialed in, should be able to easily get into the 70's.

Alright. Riverryder had some other things come up so.... here are some .ore pictures after I cleaned it up.the interior didn't clean up as well as I would have liked and there is a Crack on the top of the passenger seat now. I think a good detailing would go a long way on this old girl.

Im going to be uploading a video of it running on the hose here soon. Mostly because.... well.... who doesn't love the sound of an uncorked 2 stroke? lol!
