[abmotorman]

the "word" is the owner is repairing it.

 

[Ratickle]

Well, I guess that means we're all still looking......

Hasn't been used in 2 years. Sits on lift in the Daytona Beach sun. Starboard engine overheats. They replaced raw water pump, still over heats. Engines never had head rebuilds. No trailer. Just curious. Any know where a trailer maybe?

 

[Ratickle]

Seems like exactly what you're looking for.....

New trailer isn't all that expensive if that's all that is holding you back.

Distracted

You are correct, the trailer is the least of my concerns. The seller is some guy who starts it once in a while (doesn't instill confidence). The boat has been a salt boat for it's entire life. Looking at the picture of the transom??? The starboard engine and header have probably been overheated multiple times. Engine work especially don't scare me. My reality -The Active Thunder I currently own has just developed a 3" crack just above #1 cylinder on the port engine. Just pulled the engine tonight. To say i'm distracted is kinda understating it.

That sucks, I'd still think about an offer if that is what you want, but I know what you're going through. I don't know who else has looked at this thread yet but I haven't sent anyone else an email yet. Not sure there will be a better contestant out there any time soon.

Completely agree. Quiet already, trying to buy time... Any thoughts on good used trailers? My hunch is a new aluminum is probably the way I would go.

 

[abmotorman]

Was this the one? If so, it looks like a fountain now.

Fyi, this boat can be bought. It's not a salvage title situation either. I talked to the owner today. Very nice guy.

 

[Monopoly 46]

Did you have your boat at loto for the shoot out?

 

[Monopoly 46]

Been looking for that one for a long time never heard anyone talk about it or seen it in any photos.

 

[Ratickle]

Hey Brett, that's cause you don't come see us enough lately. Seems like a pretty good deal unless all the wood is rotted. What do you know about it?

You know of any used BT trailers out there?

Although I'd personally call Manning Marine up here and see how busy they are. If they aren't swamped, he will make you a good deal on a new trailer. And they always fit BT's perfectly......

 

[abmotorman]

I hear the "42" is in need of a lot of work. Not seeing it on craigslist anymore. Sold? :lurk5:
