Time to clean house?

I am in the "thinking stage" of cleaning out some "inventory" this year..

Seeing if any interest...some pics of what may come up on the "sale block"....

All New, not re-built, 300 Horse Crusader with Velvet Drive. Complete down to the water pumps, carb, alternator, dizzy, spark plugs, etc.... still bolted to the original shipping crate.











Then theres the 68 Cuda .... 360 power, last ran in "08...






And finally (for now) is a project, the 66 'cuda SS.. 318 poly power..






any interest , let me know.

Seems these stages come and go, yet the inventory never changes!

Tim and Gary,
One MAJOR thing has changed since those posts...


(I found the 73)

Todays Facts:

1) The 73 is "here to stay".

2) I had been "kind of" keeping the Crusader in case I found a 73-76 SN project hull... I dont think I will be looking for one of those anymore.

3) Even after selling the 'cudas, I still have the 64 American Skier and the 62 Classic.

4) Besides boats I have a couple of old cars. (can you say... "insurance poor)

5)Four or five years ago, I started to fix up our old barn, then the frickin economy hit the skids....getting rid of the cuda's will not only free up some space, it will help buy some siding.

6) I can probably think of a few more reasons...

BUT, The 'cudas ARE going to be,GONE,
....either sold/parted/whatever, sometime this summer....

I'm not 100% sure about selling the Crusader yet tho, if the 73 ever needed an engine, would I rebuild or re-load?

Soooo, if you guys , or anyone wants to buy a 'cuda (or two).... lets talk.

....And Pete,
Pam isnt pushing this, but she aint complaining either..

Gary,
the 2001 wasnt that hard to sell. I'm not that into those "new" hulls.

As for the 'cudas, I should clarify, I'm not sure on the timing of selling them. I still have a 3 foot snowdrift in front of the barn the 68 is in. Hopefully that will be gone by the end of the week. Not sure when I will get time to get it started, plus I want to make sure we are past freezing temps once I do.

The 66 is "buried" behind the pontoon and some other stuff in another barn.

why not just bump the old threads?

How much for the windshield wings off that Cuda?

PM me if you can part with them.

Thanks

C.

Thanks Wood,

I just made a deal with another member for some wings. What year Higgins do you have? Those are great boats and hard to come by (can't remember where I read that you had one). Now you don't have to go digging through the barn, haha.

Thank again

C.

We should just have an auction or you could open your barns up for us Pickers.

I hear you on the budget! I got the call today, my 73 will be ready to pick up next week from the "gel repair shop"... can you say B.O.A.T.?
