Here is the latest.
We got a phone call week before last. Seems that the fellow I sold it to still owns it but failed to register it in his name. He contacted the property owner that put him in touch with me.
Also, I've had time to look the boat over now that I have it home. It is in bad shape. The wire harness is shot, controls torn up, seats cracked, paint faded, trailer corroded, and there are various parts missing. I am only getting 60 to 90 PSI on the engine and not sure what is going on.
It will need a total re-wire - replacement controls, possible top engine rebuilt, recover the seats, clean and paint the trailer... and re-clear coat the body.
Anyway, I spoke with the fellow and we are looking at either having him come get it...or just sell it out to me for the scrap value of what is left less what I've already spent to go get it.
No time to mess with it right now anyway. In fact, I'm just now getting around to repainting the Camaro where I backed it into my trailer.
So...we'll see. It would be nice to get the boat back going again - but it is soooo far gone that it is going to be a massive project. Then again...guys like us like projects...eh?
