Hey...I'm new here, not sure if this is the right place to post this. I'm looking at an old speedboat on craigslist, considering buying it. The owner dosn't know make, model, or year. Anyone in here have any idea what it is?

[desertman]

Thanks...I'll buy it!

Get ready for some itching then! :thumbsup:

[desertman]

...itching?

[Maple Leaf]

...itching?

You don't know what your getting yourself into eh? :p

It will more then likely need a core, transom, stringers. Thats what I ment by (itching):thumbsup:

[desertman]

I have SOME idea...lol. I recently got a '64 OMC 17 Outboard Runabout with a '69 85hp Johnson outboard on it. Then, I got a '70 Hydroswift 20ft jetdrive with no motor. This boating stuff is addictive! The OMC I can fix...needs core, transom, stringers too. The Hydroswift is a wreck...but, it was free. I figure I'll salvage what parts I can off of it and scrap the rest. In the mean time...you know of a 12 step program for folks like me?

Im doing this myself for the first time (Restoreing a Hydrostream Vandal) There is alot of people on here who have done it themselves EX: Riverman, Oldskier. Jeff (Sonik) Is restoreing his mint Viper. Post in the Fiberglass Discussion if you need to ask any questions:thumbsup:Check out there threads as well.

[desertman]

Thanks...I will. I've also been on the Fiberglassics.com forums...lotta good info there.

%@*&!!! I missed it.
He sold it to another person before I could get the cash together!
And, for only $250, it was a STEAL!
Too bad, I really like the lines on the Viper.
Ah well...not meant to be, I guess.
Maybe someday tho.....

Somebody needs to quote that, lol.

Too bad you missed out on the Viper. If you keep your eyes peeled those things pop up all the time for pretty cheap.. but like said earlier.. Most will need core work... and you can rarely find one with the windshield still on it.

[desertman]

....there's no hope for me, then...eventually I'll have my Viper...then, who knows what else....I'm on the slippery slope of ruin.
