What would you pay?

I'll join in on that CG! I got a soft spot for ratty ol' boats. I havn't seen much for arima's in my area though. Actually, until I got mine, I never heard of one. (glad I did though) I asked a used boat dealer near me about them, and they rarely see them, but they were aware of the arima reputation. But I am all about the new "save an arima foundation"!  :arms:

 :smile1:FF! Holy Arima!,,From the pictures it looks really promising.If that'sa2stroke I would check with a reputable mechanic ton see if the motor needs to have a partial tear down to avoid damage to the P/Rings or pistons.Perhaps not with a 2stroke! Also is it a fresh water boat? Is the drain plug in place? Hopefully not! It's hard to tell if there is significant fiberglass damage,maybe not. The wood can be replaced and probably the fuse panel and the canvas, maybe by our canvas guy?! It will be interesting to see what the final purchase cost is! I believe it could be a deal of a lifetime,but one would have to enjoy doing the restoration  ..Geo

Darren,

This is a weekend project for you unless you are going with a hardtop modification! Bet that Merc starts right up. Galv trailer. You sure find the deals.

You can work your restoration magic and make this nicer than your 17SC. I remember what that looked like!

Great find! I hope you already have it home!

Ok, seeings how it's a slow night on the forum - 2 posts (mine included) in the last 10 hours  (what's up with that?) I thought I'd bump this back up and ask SFF what, if anything, is going on with the "dirty boat"? Inquiring mind(s) want to know.

Don't know what's up with it, but it looks in better shape than my boat, and mine is still floatin along. I would snatch it up if it were closer to me.

SFF,

I'd go sit on his front doorstep. Wait, maybe that would appear too eager???  :biggrin:

Correction: Seattle-Flyer...Don't forget to check the garage...looks like they had Penn DR's on it. Maybe some other good stuff there.
Hull looks like '89 or earliers.
If it's been there that long....just mail them a letter with low offer. The plug has to be out of the boat...otherwise it'd be a bathtub.
My budget to Buy &     Refurb:      ( iscrewed up and somehow posted without rest of my thoughts)
Trailer: $500.00    /    + 300
Hull:   $1500.00      /  + 800
Canvass  0           /   + 700
Engine:   0           /   +3,500. Used 4 stroke
Good luck....
