Description: 

I had this boat professionally restored using a shipwright in Melb in 2011. Cost a pretty penny ! The motor has done 40 hours work max in the last 7 years. 350 Chev. The third season, I damaged the hull putting it on the trailer (damaged the fibreglass) and then the following season part of the glass (2 metres x 2 boards wide) came off the boat whilst driving it.

The boat took on water and it was removed from the water and has sat in the shed ever since whilst I figured out what I was planning on doing with it. I have had a few people look at it and all have made different suggestions on how to fix it. I am certainly no expert on it and would hate to try and fix it and ruin it. The damaged part (see pics) is limited to just one spot. The rest of the boat is fully in tact.

The people that have looked at the boat to give advice have all said the same thing. The timber behind it is very solid and showing no signs of rot. So its definitely worth repairing. It was just the fact I damaged a section putting it on the trailer that has led to this. Anyway, I have decided to put her up for sale.

Because I don't really have the funds or the time to attempt any repairs. And the kids are not really into skiing these days.The boat has been out of the water and under cover for a couple of seasons now and is very dry, and ready for repairs. The motor is still started reguraly and runs fine. It has a hose/tap setup under the back seat to hook up water to run her out of the water. Its a very quick nimble boat with awesome pickup.

The motor was built in 2011 and has never missed a beat.Please feel free to contact me if you require any more info or photos. Wayne phone. Sorry, but I don't answer blocked numbers..I will accept low ball offers if you have made the effort to come look/inspect the boat. But if you have not inspected the boat I'm not really interested in silly offers :-)Its a nice custom boat on a custom built trailer that requires a couple of k (even less if you can do it yourself)spent on it to get yourself a very unique boat. Open to offers/maybe swaps with cash/payment arrangements etc... Hit on the link to get an idea of how she sits in the water. https://youtu.be/C4qoJoobCUY
