Maybe what I need to do is get my deposit in for waterlogged's next stringer project! -
No, I certainly don't need it. And you're right, if I wanted a nice slalom boat I'd look for another '94 as that project went well and I loved the boat. I sold it to a good friend to pay for the next project ('89 Sanger Barefooter). We spend the majority of our time barefooting and my Sanger is a...Leave a comment:

I certainly hear you regarding the initial investment vs. final cost. For instance, this boat looks very clean and well looked after... https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details...dId=1620140167

Waterlogged, I had a chance to see the boat and learned a lot. I appreciated your earlier checklist. The seller was great. He allowed me to pull up the floor, Turn motor mount bolts, and play with the mechanicals. It had the correct carb and fuel line. The majority of the motor mount bolts still...Leave a comment:

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your time. That boat hasn't be run in a couple of years. The fuel in the tank and carb could be varnish. There won't be a water test. IF I'm willing to take the plunge, what would you consider a fair offer? No trailer.Leave a comment:

Waterlogged, that old 82 looks as though it has been ridden hard and put away wet for at least a portion of its' life. Let's forget about the surface stuff (scratches, minor stress cracks, chips, tears, osmosis, etc.) as I presume there will be examples of all those at this point. The big stuff is...Leave a comment:

Actually, this boat is the nightmare.

He had some serious surprises but built it right in my opinion. I actually like many of his choices. Sadly, when you invest that much you need to be committed to keeping it...forever....Leave a comment:

I'm certainly not interested in make new/restore. That usually ends up with a money pit. With boats and cars (toys) the goal is to loose or make 5% when you are done with it (excluding my time of course). Work on it, enjoy it, use it, pass it along to someone who gets it and will treat it right is...Leave a comment:

882, I'm not sure if I have the courage for stringers. When I was 18 I tried to do a body off restoration of a corvette in my parents garage. Never finished it and lost my shirt (getting married and the economy tanking didn't help). I'm nervous stringers will turn into corvette the sequel. I've learned...Leave a comment:

Skier and 882 thanks to you both. I appreciate your candor.Leave a comment:

The '86 appeals to me as I consider my old one "the boat that got away." Actually, I wondered if that boat would be fun to convert to a stars and stripes / Maple Leaf edition. My guess is it was originally a red rainbow. The interior is not original. Ripe for a makeover.Leave a comment:

As I said, looking for a project. What would this go for in your area?

Next, my guess is that it is actually an '82. Anyone agree?
Between the 86 and the 8?, which boat would you prefer when the work...Leave a comment:

Considering a new project...
Thinking about this boat. It needs some love. If the bones are good what would you pay?
