I found another Daytona with twins that I have been searching for so this one is going up for sale. I will follow up with much more detail when I get back to the lake to go over the paperwork and receipts but I just wanted to get the word out as there was alot of interest in letting everyone know when I was going to sell it. I found the boat in a barn in Michigan without a engine and had Fallon Marine rig the 300 Promax on it. Interior is faded but has no rips or tears and is structurally perfect.

In the process of getting the boat back on the water I had to remove two layers of automotive paint and clear coat which uncovered that the boat had been sold new as a twin engine and someone over the years converted it to a single. The transom is overbuilt as a result but taking the paint off uncovered the former holes for the other engine. All of the glass work was done right, it just needs the gel redone on the back 2 feet of the boat to make it perfect.

I fixed all of the little shit that had accumulated over the years and now everything works. Boat runs straight and steady at 94 mph up river in the summer heat. Winter time should get it into the low 100's. I know I am forgetting alot, but this is just a starter ad.

Hmmm...I'm not sure if I could rock this color combo. But you have me thinking.

Chicks dig it! Amazing how many people come up to comment on the old school cool factor. I originally thought of all new gel coat with some new colors but after a few months of using it on the lake it was pretty clear that it should be left alone as a timeless classic to the era when all boats were pink.

Shueman - what's the cost for a new interior and to finish the gel work as is? And what's the cost to regel in all white?

I was quoted $8000 in Havasu for complete top and bottom for white with some red / grey accents.

New interior was $3800.

And $1000 to redo the transom to match factory scheme

That's a lot better pricing and easier to stomach for a toy.

I wish I was in a position to take this off your hands.

Stupid responsibilities won't let me get another toy until I unload some that I'm not using now. :(

If anyone was thinking about this, I'm much more open to offers and selling the engine only now. Replacement boat is in the works so I need to make some room in the garage.

Engine has been sold, everything else must go. Boat, trailer, fully rigged, jack plate, hydraulic steering, trim pump, etc included. Bolt up any merc motor and be on the water.

$7500
