I said I wasnt going to post any picutres of the paint job until it was all put back together, but since I am selling it, I wanted to try to get some interest stirred by showing its progression.
The following pictures show the boat in the paint booth and a couple of pictures of the deck before its wet sanded and buffed. Believe it or not, the paint will look even better then it does in these pictures. |

Not really sure of the specifics. That comment was based on something Craig had said. Remember early on in this thread (I think) we were discussing Torinos, Seperators and Spoilers and trying to determine the difference and when and why different versions were in brochures. When Craig mentioned his Seperator, I said something about Torinos and he commented that the Seperator was a higher performance boat. As I said, I don't know the details. I also think I recall him saying the Spoiler was an even "hotter" version. Blast an email off to Craig. I'm sure he knows all the details and would be happy to share them with you.

Bigger engine in the Seperator? How Big was it? The last time I checked (3-4 weeks) it was still listed.They were asking too much $ for the amount of work that it needed |

Just curious....Does anyone know what came of that Torino that was for sale in FL. I don't/ didn't want it, I was just wondering if anyone ever followed up and either got it or knows what happened to it.
Talked to Craig Warner at the Boston Boat show, I believe he said he had a Seperator (the torino with the bigger engine and the bat boat windshields and another V-drive, a spoiler maybe) I hope to see them at the NECC rally. Maybe he'll even drop one in at Milton for us. |

Here are a few more photos of the project. Boat is painted but I am going to wait until I put it back together before posting anymore pictures.
The deck primed As you can see, the boat has been completely stripped down. Every last nick and scratch has been repaired. The entire hull and deck have been cleaned then sanded...then sanded some more and primed with Algrip 545. Then hand sanded some more. |

I just checked out that add again...It for sure needs interior and fiberglass work.I'm sure your brother in law knows what to look for...I would not offer more than 1500.00 to start...Could be a great boat after alot of work. |

Asking price depends on condition and how much work you can do yourself.I would offer 1500-1900.00 if it has all or most parts attached and good engine. Why don't you call first and get as many details as you can. Most boats are very basic and easy to rework.Trailer cond. is also important (1200 mile drive). When I bought mine I called the guy 3-4 times and he sent me about 45 pictures...Hope it works out!...Someone said they can go 50-60mph...I don't know for sure. |

Forgot to ask, how much would you offer based on the advertisement? Did anyone ever call them? I'm calling on Monday. I'm a little nervous about doing this. How fast do these boats go?

I did not know that was a 68 brochure. The brochure shows a glove box in the dash. My boat doesn't have the box. I would have thought that feature would have been added in a newer model...but it was actually removed from a standard feature. My boat has to be a 1970 or later because of the engine..Thanks for the info. |
