This just popped up on Craigslist and is about 15 mins away...

Guy sent me pics. I think the 50 Force are Mercury for that year ? Anyone have one and how do you like it ? Guy says he has another 50 HP he's throwing in.

Not really concerned about the motor since I'd most likely buy a new 4 stroke and just use the 50 HP for this season. Liking that it's duradeck.

He sent the following pics:

Looks like a hell of a deal Ed, I'm liking that aluminum deck.
I have the same 21ftr with a 2008 50hp Merch and I am very happy with it.

Can't beat the price. Has a trailer. I'd go for it.

You would have $2500 in fun on it the first year.

Looks like a good deal to me, and you need a new pontoon.

Looks like one I almost bought. Wouldn't be too hard to restore eventually.

Bah, overruled by Cheryl. She wants 24-26 ft with changing room, etc. The Party Cruiser spoiled her I guess. :rofl :rofl :rofl

She likes this, lol:

Ed, it looked a little rough to me. I know the admiral over-ruled you, but I wouldn't have gone much over about $1,500-$1,750. You know what it costs to do new carpet, seats, etc.
Maybe next time.

Yeah that boat is pretty cool. No bids either. Yeah I figure by the time I stripped that boat down, new seats, motor, etc I'd pay as much as something a bit bigger/newer.

Lots of 'toons for sale and I'm not in a hurry.

That would have been a good project boat but at the same time you have to keep the wife happy :bowdown You'll find something that suits the both you.
Happy wife = happy boating.

When she says bigger, newer boat I'm not going to argue, lol. She has as much boating experience as I do.
