Hey guys:
I just purchased a '91 sport with approx 350 hrs. from a gentleman with help from adirondack marine. I went by pictures only & bought it on e-bay for 11,500 including the SN trailer. I'm driving 800 miles next week to pick it up. It's yellow with black(the yellow's faded, & i'm prepared for a paint job). Somebody PLEASE tell me I did the right thing! Thanks, SJT |

Welcome to CCFan. You came to the right place for help in getting that sport in shape. Don't a$$ume you are going to have to paint. I am in the middle of a restore that looked pretty bad when I got it & I am wetsanding & buffing mine back to a great shine. There are several post on here concerning that topic. I am sure you will love the boat when you get it. I drove from Atlanta to Virginia for one of mine & from Atlanta to Indy for the other. Both were ebay boats as well. Congrats on your new baby!

Im guessing this is your boat:
The gel can definitely be buffed out- you dont want to paint. Hopefully the interior is in good shape- thats a big $$$ item to replace. Hopefully its in exactly the condition you expect when you see it in person. Theres nothing worse than surprises! I would follow M3Fan's checklist on purchasing an older CC, which can be found here: PN If any aspect of the boat is not as described in the auction, I would push for a lower price. That being said, Im sure Adirondack Marine will take care of you. My family has done business with them for many years and they are an excellent dealership. |

Adirondack Marine is great. I bought a used Supra from them in 1996. I still call for help and advice and they are always accomodating. Really enjoy doing business with them. Tom and his son are great guys.
