Definately not a 28 Cig. Was this boat sitting in a yard next to the Stansteel asphalt tank and kiln yard?

RIGHT! That's what in sayin. Dude bought a boat for 1200 that runs. That's way less than what my fuel bill will be for the month of July. Sand it down, paint it in his garage. Clean up the interior and fukc it run it. If it blows up or sinks, sell the trailer and wash your hands lol

And you didn't learn, you went out and bought an even bigger resin bucket to pour your money into... We have a disease, a sickness. Hi, Im phragle, Im a powerboataholic...

Lol well only kinda... This one is not rotted from now to stern, and is a much better boat overall, most if the mkney I sink in this one can be removed and kept....!!!

My thoughts exactly. You don't need a title to register the boat in the state of Indiana. I would like to apply for the title though. I'm going to restore the boat. If I knew what the boat was, I would restore it back to new. Since I do not know what it is, I'm going to take all the stickers and logos off and have the boat clean with no badging.

If you honestly believe this boat is home-made you are an amateur in the boat community.

I purchased the boat from a local marina in Louisville, KY. The owner of the boat had worked done to the engines and had the boat stored at the marina outside. He stopped making storage payments two years ago and is nowhere to be found. I paid $1200 for the boat and trailer. That’s the amount that was owed in storage fees.

I work for a marina that I’m in the process of purchasing as well as good friends with the owners of local marinas. I have a dealer license and get parts for one third of the cost. I also get free boats all the time that nobody wants anymore. I’ve salvaged many usable parts over the years. One of my buddies who owns a marina does only gel coat and fiberglass repair. Getting this boat re-sprayed is not an issue.

Chrysler’s marine engines have been around since 1927. I believe the 360 came out in 1974. If you’re thinking these are a pair of 360 Magnums either out of a Dodge Ram or Durango you are mistaken. The casting numbers are 4179930-360-6 and the other 4179930-360-5. These are LA 360 engines. Production was 1975 to 1993.


There is nothing wrong with the Chrysler transom assembly nor the stringers. The hull is solid, just needs re-sprayed. The engines are sound with great compression. There is nothing wrong with the drives either. Boat looks the way it does because it's been outside for several years with the sun hitting it. Boat was made from Carr Enterprises.

You can clearly see other boats in the background of the images.
The first images I posted is the day I purchased the boat. I picked up the boat at one marina and drove it to another marina, and took it off the trailer. The photo you are referring to, is how it is sitting now. I’m having the trailer painted and the boat needed to come off of it. It’s next to a huge warehouse where I work.

Thank you Dave. That’s what I’ve found out too. Unfortunately, they’re no longer in business or I would contact them.

You came into a Cigarette Forum with a fake Cigarette and now you are telling people how much or how little they know about boats... Sorry not sure what you were expecting. I would do you build thread in another section of OSO. Your not going to get much love in here especially after those comments...
