Any Black Thunders for sale?

[fund razor]

I'd probably give him $45k, but I have already proven that I am a sucker for anything with worthless motors that I'll have to spend 4 years and 75 grand making right.

If there is milkshake in the bilge, I would probably give him 50.

I'll go 55k if the tank is rotten.

Misery loves company, I guess I'll go 60. Lol

Is that the one that came off the trailer and ended up in the tree?

Ok, I'm up to 65.

You might go higher yet. It came up for sale in Washington a few years back and when I had it surveyed the surveyor told me it looked like it had been repaired at a auto body shop in Tijuana, Mexico. Lots of car bondo!!!!!!! I have no idea if this is the same one though. Let me see if I can find the survey...

 

[Ratickle]

Nope, not the same boat.

I know the boat, nice overall used boat. engines and drives are not original and don't look to impressive. Obviously its not worth the asking price but the boat has always been indoors and very well maintained by its first 2 owners. Owner 3 bought it from the bank as a repo and owner 4 bought it for about 45grand but it came with one good 500HP and one really bad 500HP, plus blown drives.

Glad to know, it's always so hard to recommend anything if no one is familiar with the boat.

Holy CRAP!!!! That's one strong tree. How'd you like to be the recovery company. "Ah, how h@$! Are we go into get that down?!?"

 

[abmotorman]

Very clean. Too clean. I still chuckle when I think of my wife's response to the interior. "Looks like baby diarrhea". Probably ready for engines too. Preferably blue one's. Very clean though.

Anyone find anymore BTs for sale?

Does anyone know the actual owner of this boat? I WILL NOT deal with that broker. EVER. Going down to that area in April and if it is available I would like to take a look. Andy
