Deposit on another 86

I started some wetsanding on the boat tonight. The 10 foot section came up nicely, the spider cracks didn't "disappear" as much as I had hoped they would.

Tim- I know we talked this weekend about spider cracks. What grit did you go to in order to get them to fade.

Looks great! You going to have it back up at Tim's for next weekend?

You know the type, Mike- the wally in the I/O doing donuts in the middle of the lake, or cutting you off when youre pulling a skier. Must be the "jet ski" mentality!

Eric, the boat looks good- and Im sure you'll have it shining in no time!

Not too many interesting details about this boat.

All stock except theres a different acme prop on there with some nicks and such. Ill be swapping it for a 542 soon. Started right up on a fake-a-lake which means that it starts and runs...we will see if its a real winner when I get it out on the lake and it shifts, doesn't leak, backfire, throw a rod through the block, etc.

Theres a lot of spider cracks and my speculation is it spent most of its life sitting in the water vs on a lift or trailer.

No idea how many owners shes had.

Floors and stringers seem decent. Theyre all ticking time bombs so its a matter of how long before it falls apart. No soft spots in the floor, floors still attached to the hull with no separation.

Interiors not perfect but a lot better than my last 86. Carpets OK at best.

As long as the lake test checks out well, Ill consider this boat a good deal.

More pictures will come after I wetsand her down

Eric,

Welcome back to Correct Craft ownership. Looks exactly like my boat with the colors reversed. The interior looks good from what I can see. Pop a nice 540 on her and you're golden. How's the 351 feel? I can actually see the reflection of Tim's rocky driveway on your hull. Not so bad.

Ken

I will bite.

You are at the lake.

Looks great in these pictures.

Congrats,

Donald

Ha, Im pretty sure skiers of all types should stick together. Its the inconsiderate cruisers and jet skis that are the problem!

Don't make us mad. You won't like us when we're mad.

hey derek if you want to come up to lake monomonoc sometime feel free to call,lost 2 out of 3 drivers this year.i promise we wont hang on any wakecrafts

Email sent.

Durkin, where do you ski?

watch out for durkin,he wants your boat .good luck with the search derek.

You should be weary of the hours on this boat. I had e-mailed them about it and he said he didn't know the hours because there was no hour meter.

I don't see many out there these days. $4,000 isn't bad if everything checks out ok. What other cool boats can you buy for $4,000? Good luck with it, Eric. By the way, your girlfriend is right. Save some cash for a home. Best investment you'll ever make!
