Don, I hate to see you sell it but hopefully whoever gets it will love it and take care of it as well as you have. See you in a few months on the river!

If only; I am pretty sure my wife will not agree to 3 CC's, then again I could not have imagined she would agree to two...

If I was in the market to buy a boat,I would jump on that one with out even turning the key. I love that color style blue.

You bet.That 84 needed skins and some outside work.Yours looks like great.I think there is nothing wrong with it.It also makes it nice to have a title of a CC.

Wayne,

It never hurts to ask. I have an idea, buy it an give it to her for Christmas.   

Since it will be a gift, she will have to accept it.

Actually yeah, it's a very sharp boat, in spite of the misleading decals.

Pete, I'm guessing 90% of CC owners over the past 50 years never check alignment. I'd say it gets done when a tranny rebuild has been done, rarely otherwise.

I just don't like what he's done with the boat!

David and Jack,
I'm more optimistic and would say that around 80% of our regulars here do check their alignment on a regular basis. Yes, we have plenty of members who we may have heard from once and then disappear. They maybe sold the boat and I would agree that they may not have know the stringer condition nor checked alignment. I would however say that in most cases it does indicate some level of ignorance but in most cases are not intentionally misleading the buyer.

I asked the seller of this boat if he know the condition of the stringers since a 81 certainly is suspect of rot. He said he "looked" at them and did not indicate any method used to actually check for rot. This sent up a red flag for me and the reason I asked about alignment. A alignment check may indicate a stringer issue. He's had and used the boat for 3 years and I would think during that time he would have done more mechanicals.

Yes, I sure DON'T like what was done to the boat ether!    With that dash, I'd guess he covered up some holes from a PO!

If anyone is interested and looks at the boat, be real cautious. Do check the stringers and take a look at the alignment.
