still learning.

Clean Outrages go for $20,000 all the time.
I saw a 22' for $50,000. :o It had 2 brand new motors.

Which models have you been looking at?

Really interested in the 16'7" with the mahogany CC:
Eastport
Nauset (I would be interested in dimensions to covert add the seat => Eastport)
Sakonnet


Not a total refurb/basket case job, something I can use now and over 3-5 winters work it back into pristine. I can do all the wood no problem, even if I have to make parts, but, would rather not have to go further into gelcoating than fixing dings and scratches.

I assume you can still get the interior blue repair kits, is this true or not?

CaptnPea,

There was never a consistent blue mixture for the blue inside the old hulls. Everyone is different. Spectrum color does sell gel coat that is a consistent color and you could spray and entire interior with it.

Thanks Jeff,
Spraying the whole of the interior or exterior would not be beyond my capabilities, although I would like to not have to do it right away.

Captn, i have a 1968 Sakonnet that i might part with for the right price. it's starting to get to a point where it's going to need some work. I use it all the time, and it's a great boat. i have a 1996 115HP Johnson Ocean Runner on it that I put a rebuilt block on 2 years ago and it has just at 100hrs on it.

It's still in solid shape but there are a lot of spider cracks in the interior and exterior fiberglass which i'm told doesn't totally hurt the structural integrity, but i would imagine if it's left unfinished for more than 3 more years or so it's going to get real bad.

i don't know what you're looking to pay for this type of boat but i've seen them going for $7000. The motor runs like a top and i just put a brand new trailer under it this year.

i just wanted to throw that out there.
