    *****THIS BOAT IS NOT RUNNING AND NEEDS A NEW MOTOR*****
    This boat is solid. It is a full stringer boat with aluminum motor rails and plates. The stringers and transom are in excellent condition. It has a fully adjustable cavitation setup with down pedal and handle. The boat can handle chop very well with this setup. I had put a hydraulic place diverter on but removed it immediately because the plates worked so much better and faster. I had bought this boat less motor and jet. I bought a new 12JG that maybe has five hours since built. The gel is in decent condition considering it is almost 30yrs old. There is a few nics and chips and a stress crack on the dash that has been re-glassed on the back side. The interior is in good shape for its age. There is no rips but there is a few very small holes. All the wood for the seats are very solid and in great condition. It has two stainless fuel tanks which are fed by AN stainless hose and fittings to a billet fuel selector valve. This boat is not running and does need a new motor. The block has a crack in a cylinder which broke some valves. I never tore the motor down so I do not know the extent of the damage. It does still have some usable parts like tunnel ram, holly 600 or 660 carbs, scoop, M/T valve covers, pan etc, etc. The trailer is a Ellis boxed trailer with chrome fenders that is in good condition structurally. It could use new paint/powder coating. It has a new jack, coupler and winch setup. *** I do not think that I have the pink slip to the trailer... I will have to search to see if it came with one but I do not think it did...***
    The previous owner stated that this boat was originally owned and rigged by Jeff Blosdale. I never followed up on this but was shown some old pictures with Jeff around the boat. If so that may explain all the extras that came on the boat.
    Thanks for looking.

    Humm, better think of something. I have not touched this boat in 3-4 years so I should have changed a while back... Gotta make room for a new desert toy.... Any bites on your boat?

    Just could not bring myself to sell it. Then my family got some river property so I thought it would be perfect to use but it is going to take a little while to complete the house.. So I don't want it rotting away outside so time to sell.
