WANTED FIXER BOAT

[HBH]

i have a friend who wants to get into boating by picking up a very inexpensive fiberglass run about and "restoring" it...between the two of us we can take on quite a fixer upper...needs to be fiberglass with a trailer to get it home...like a bayliner capri or quartermaster or searay ski boat or something similar...price needs to be very low to start with....anybody have something or know of something???

thanks

HBH, right off hand I do not, but I am the kind of guy that notices boats everywhere. I can't tell you how many yards I have seen a boat sitting for years on a trailer that has not moved or been washed. Makes me think it won't take to long to come across a potential project for you two, good luck.

Craigslist has a constant supply of old runabouts. Floors aren't so bad to replace , transoms a little more work. Some of the old windshield, deck and rail hardware is tough to come by. Force outboards are less than wonderful and many parts are obsolete.

There are a bunch of donated boats going to auction at Marineland in Portland next weekend...70 or so....might be a good place to look .

Did you ever find a candidate?

I have a 1978 Bayliner Liberty 2050 with a cuddy cabin you could get for cheap. It has a Volvo-Penta 280 outdrive on it, but the engine has already been sold. It is on a trailer and is located in Ballard, just South of you on the North side of Salmon Bay.

Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks!!
