Looking at water psi, I am assuming you are at WOT...Detroits?? Be nice if she had the 3208 CATs

Spent alot of time on one of those in yesteryear....repowered with 6CTAs after she sank at the dock. Completely changed how the rig performed.

Beautiful.

My Grandpa would have me brushing varnish on the gunwale.... Is it teak?? If so, I have experience.

That boat looks really good until you start opening hatches. Nice color, good paint, good teak covering boards, GREAT tower and riggers. It was good looking enough for me to pay for hauling and a survey.

We knew the engines were tired and the electronics were shot. Original engines are Detroit 653s rated at 300 hp turning 2800 RPM. The image shows them turning +/- 2,200 making 19kts. If the deal worked out, I planned on fishing those engines this summer and repowering with something like Yanmar 440s this winter.

As billed, it had a good, northern lights generator with low hours. When we opened the generator hatch, the generator was corroded beyond repair. Half the breaker panel is dark. All of the thru-hull valves are seized open. All of the below deck hose clamps need to be replaced. The macerate pump is broken and back flows into the fish box. The fresh water system isn’t working. The bolts on the water jackets are so corroded that the owner was afraid to take it into the ocean. We also found evidence of termites in two places in the cabin.

Sounds perfect- what you waiting on!

Sounds like a motivated seller.

That CC is sexy.

What kind of bracket is on that thing? Looks like a porta bracket on a giant flap.

Dang, that's pretty sharp. Trim tabs married up with a jack plate.

The center console is 23’. They want $79,900 for it.

They’ll hold on to that for a minute.

Scotland Neck representing! Temptation was the boat you wanted to dock beside at BigRock and Hatteras MC. Those guys knew how to party. Got me on the Hatteras Lighthouse while it was moving...

I’ve driven by that Harrison CC many times this summer. That is a great looking boat. My wife suggested I look it up and we had a good laugh at the asking price.
