Boat People
 
Im looking for a good bowrider. Good power but doesnt need to be super fast. Big enough to fit the family.

Waddya think? Needs some motor work. Is the price low enough to justify pulling the motor or should it be lower and include the trailer?

I'D give him 4500.00 with the trailer

I would never put anywhere near that in a 96' model boat with engine problems. If it needs manifolds and risers, that's $1,000 - $1,500 alone. IMO, it's a $2,500 - $3,000 boat, tops.

Put a LT1 in it.

Come on Man. It needs to be a Stock LS 5.3 with a Turbo.

Including the trailer. The seller must have an emotional attachment to it, because he's way off. If you go to resell, a Cobia is not a popular name in bowrider boats, only outboard fish boats. Find an old Sea Ray, Cobalt or Chaparral and the Sea Ray is by far the best riding of the three.

chrisheltra 04-19-2013 11:35 AM

Sea ray ftw. We also had a monteray (sp?) that was really nice aswell.

Someone is supposed to be coming by to get my jet skis this weekend. Once thats a sure thing ill offer this guy 3k and see what happens.

Larry keep your eye out. Im looking for a bow rider 18-22 feet. Prefer a v8, and would prefer it to need some work. Must have solid floors, stringers and transom.

oh crap. http://wilmington.craigslist.org/boa/3743520856.html

Dad will sell you his boat for $2500, I fixed the fuel problem you saw it having.

soccerspike15 04-19-2013 04:07 PM

I got a 18ft duracraft Jon boat for sale should fit in fine with the hey Bo's in the lake and tail race

That carbed 225 may be a little rough on fuel, but should be reliable and push the crap out of that boat. That Laser II prop is a Mercury Marine offering, and is one bad ass prop. That boat should fly. Add fuel (non-ethanol), oil (yammalube), and have fun!!!!
