Dockrocker,Ibought a 87 242ls very nice condition 17k with trailer . I put a new engine in it 3k (wife was not to happy) boat rides great 454-350hp it will do just about 60. The boat you were looking at has been for sale for awhile I think ,see if he will put a trailer in for 21k, nice ride for the cash. Work on engine later. mark

thanks for the compliment Blue Thunder
it has been tough finding another formula that impresses me like when i first found this one. the colors are timeless.

wild. yours is tempting. I have your pictures. put kaamas on it and it's mine!!!

dock. with 330's you will get many hours out of them. i would buy one with 500 hrs in a minute if i felt it was maintained well.

hp500's or something.....probably not.

Thier was a 311 down the street from my house with Kaama's on it and for sale. Not sure what year, power,ect. but it had a blue hull and look real clean.

i think i have some pics somewhere

low hrs, twin small blocks. he has a new boat (ie motivated)

Go with what you like, then worry about the small stuff. The motor are the small stuff . You can always rebuild what you have. Th big stuff would be faded gell, cracked stringers ,rotton wood in the stingers or transom, holes in the hull excesive blistering on the bottom. De lamination of the fiberglass inside and out. Get the picture. Motors and drives can allways be replaced, Boat repair takes time and money. I would rather choose a boat that was in perfect condition with blown motors or out drives rather than a boat that I was not sure of with motors that ran.
