Purchase and pickup
I had seen this boat advertised in Boating USA for $20,000.00 and I noticed it because it was in Spokane. Later about a year earlier it showed up on Craigslist and was in Chatterory and the coat was 13K, 11K, 9K then I emailed and later asked for some additional pictures and found out it was in Elk, WA. Decided to check it out, and it was in a shop way off the grid owned by a young man that decided he had two young kids and didn’t need a wooden boat. Him and dad were very nice but didn’t have a lot of knowledge. They thought it had a Cadillac 331 and had the corners repaired in CDA and installed an alternator and battery but had not run in years. Overall it looked good, scratched plexiglass windshield that could be fixed, only having about 3 coats of varnish and stock fiberglass bottom over 3/8 mahogany plywood with frames under the engine on 8” centers and 12” forward. I talked to Glenn and Terry and they knew about the boat. In fact, Terry had worked on it. He said it had won the open category at the CDA Boat Shoe 12 years earlier. He said offer 7K and if you get it under 8K it's a great deal, I offered 7K cash the next day and got it for 7.5K and towed it home. The trailer pulled great but the lights didn’t work.
