eBay finds

9,000 is the starting bid, but I don't see any reserve, so guess that would own it if nobody else bids. I agree Darren, outstanding price if it really goes for that. Painted sides look pretty good, and my boat is painted and so far so good. Curious to see how the auction ends.

For those of you looking for that elapsed time hour meter

Someone with too much cash in their wallet needs to pick this up on Ebay, only $1500

For sure! Wrong hub though... It had a square taper instead of the standard 3/4" keyed.

Interestingly, one of our members here is from Sterling, IL... Maybe they're neighbors?

Not on all of them... But some do have the removable shaft mate portion- like this one (it unscrews from the rear).

Yeah, rough and way too much cash unless you needed some parts desperately you couldn't find.

Side note: that hull would look hilarious if it had a windshield line like that haha.

1966 Correct Craft Mustang (at least that's what the auction description says)

Another donation boat up for auction.

1966 Mustang

Considered having someone go have a look at that one for me when Mars sent me a text msg about that one....Decided against it after mulling over it and a different one. Hope someone here (a little more closer) grabs it. Has great potential!

Somethings up with the engine. I just went to the boat survey and in it, it states the engine is a 390 - 260HP. It looks like a 289 to me due to the square exhaust manifolds and the shape of the valve covers. I'd guess the surveyor didn't know what he was looking at and his specs carried over into the listing.

Engine is not running, and it has a Gen 1 FCT, but I have seen a lot worse...

Watching the 2001 in SC have a motor ready to go.How much for an interior?Will have to take sawsall for that tower.

I'd budget 2500-3500 on the interior, unfortunately. That tower is an original gen1 FCT (or a convincing replica) so be sure to sell it and not cut it up! Let me know if you get it and want to get rid of the original busted big block.

Chris,
Don't go out of you way on my behalf since I have plenty of sources to take a close look up there. I just thought if you were driving past, you'd just quickly see how bad my driveway is. As mentioned and you confirmed, you would be using hwy 8 anyway. As a reminder, the address is 1318 hwy. 32. Heading west, just past the airport and the S turns at Sucker Creek, you would look at the numbers on the right hand side. Going east, you would do the same just past Bonnie's Lakeside.

Good luck at Bottoms Up. What's the trip for with the parts? Is he still working on your dads Chris?

Well that gives me all the more reason to go visit the fine folks at WasterCraft sales and take a peek at the red Riviera! I haven't been up to the three lakes area so Zoe and I will probably cruise past on Saturday on our way to Steves.

We're dropping off some interior parts for dad's Continental. We ended up purchasing another boat mostly for the windshield. Steve wants to use the engine cover and seats out of the donor boat for dads. We'll end up selling the other boat with all the parts that are left over.
