Here's one that needs plenty of elbow grease and $$$ too. On eBay look at item number 110445193797 or this link http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... K:MEWAX:IT

I reckon I'd like to have a closer look at that one before guesstimating a price. As Bob says, she's a tired looking boat, but maybe it's just plain dust all over it.

Wow I just got some extra pics of the boat, if anyone else plans to bid.. well lets just say make sure you get some extra photos...... seems to have a lot of phillip head screws around the front and the engine is not in it like the ad shows, photos show it sitting on a pallet :roll:

Hi mate, I still think it is a good project, just a bit shocked that someone would not show that on the listing. I know if I bid without seeing it and drove down to pick it up I would be a bit peeved to find the bow looks to be cut off and patched about a foot back, badly. Anything is fixable but better to add it to the listing, saves angry words at pick up time :D

cheers

yeh i can understand that. should atleast list it.

be interesting to see the pics of the boat now. i dont think it would be worth what the bidding is up to at the moment.
