have you heard of this?

My buddy is looking at a Supra Sport Cla$$ic in Texas. I've told him a million times to go with a CC but the price is right and it seems like a solid boat. Since I live in Iowa I cant really help him too much, just through pics. He told me that the owner sent him an email saying that in the late 80's the boat was sent back to the factory and fully inspected. He said the stringers were checked, odd and ends fixed and then the deck and hull were even seperated to check everything out. It was a "rare promotional deal?" I have never heard of anything like this and it kinda made me think twice about the boat. What do you all think?

I don't know if this did or did not happen.

I do know that the way the Supra's were built, you need to separate the cap from the hull to do a stringer job. My next door neighbor had to do just this on an 86 Supra.

Also, he found that the way it was built, it was easy for water to get below the floor and cause the rotting.

Thank you for the advice! Looks like he will be going after a CC after he see's what you all have to say!

      We used to ski down on the river when I was young. We had an old 74 Skier, Lime green, that we used when we were down there. It was actually Billy Grahms boat! The bought an 88 Ski from the Power Boat club there on the river.
      We moved to Diamondhead Lake about seven years ago? Its about 30 min. west of Des Moines right off the interstate about 2 miles? Inbetween Stuart and Dexter. Nice little private lake! It used to be a fishing hole but more people are finding out about us and its starting to become nice!
      Havent ever been to Rathbrun? Isn't it pretty big?
      

Yeah, that sounds like the river. My dad and his buddies used to always ski down there so it was kinda like second nature to me.
I remember one fall my dad got us out of school early to go ski. The river was low so we were just cruising to see if we should try it or not. Just before I got in the water a full grown tree popped up about 150 ft off our bow, branches, leaves and all!!! It was just rolling along the bottom and it came to the surface and we just watched it roll with the current....We didnt ski that day! Its a great place to ski as long as you know what your doing!
