EBAY won 99 Super Sport

Ok. Looks like a decent project boat. Interior is trashed with lots of missing pieces including driver’s seat. Speedo’s missing needles. No trailer. Mangled Propellor. Sold as is where is......but “it starts right up”.

Silly bidding with days to go

$10,100 and 4 Days to go. So you do the math. Trailer: $2000, interior $3500-$5000 (missing drivers seat and other interior pieces)—I mean seriously folks. We are at the $17k mark and there’s time left to watch the insanity grow.

"the tips of the prop are a little bent and it will need to be redone"

Looks like they sell more RV's than boats!!

The buyer will need a new RWP impeller too!!

Flood victim???

Maybe the perfect time to sell mine on Ebay! Point of that ad that bothers me is exactly what Pete says; brochure avoids all the nasty photos until way down, and shows the correct trailer but then says it’s not included.

Those missing interior pieces aren’t as easy to get, and this boat is a mess of things to fix. Hope it sells for big bucks and we get another CCF SS owner!

It looks like it took on water Maybe filled up with rain on a trailer that gave out (no trailer) makes you wonder how closely bidders look when they get goo-goo eyed for a
V-drive. Seller also calls it a Super Air when it clearly says Super Sport on the side.

Yeah—both airguide speedos are missing their needles. Must have gone through a time warp or something.

Judging by that prop, two depth finders weren’t enough.

That’s a fix on the checklist I could handle. One skinny brush and Testor’s
Flat black from the 70’s airplane model kit in the basement!

Seriously a 98 or is it a 99 SS in “as is where is” with a trailer and a trashed but complete interior that wasn’t sunk is worth $9-$10k. Hope we get whoever buys this thing in CCF so we can all donate our spares to save them from financial stress.

I think if your driving to Texas to get a boat with no trailer that this one would be a better buy. It should buff out nicely. If it don't it has a nice GT40 with about 222 hours for a transplant and alot of good other parts to help offset the price

For all of you Tower Haters out there. Look if it was not for this tower it is likely this boat would of flipped over. It acted as a roll cage.

No more bids in the last 2 days. I wonder if 2***x is getting bidder's remorse yet.

Or the marina is bidding it up and will cancel the auction if they win it.

I just did a search for complaints on Empire RV and Marine. Keep in mind every business has dissatisfied customers but a few things did pop up regarding scrams and rip offs on Empire!!

Somebody dropped out of the bidding. Looks like anyone can escape with their deposit if there’s a conflict in the item description or if a professional inspection shows something incorrect. One example might be where the seller calls it a Super Sport and also a Super Air. What a messy sale.

Thought about bidding. Ended at $9,100. Would have been okay if it had a trailer. Way too many unknowns otherwise. Tough to find a good trailer on a whim.

Well, I'm the lucky guy.

Honestly I was relieved when I got outbid, then that last day the guy who outbid me retracted his bid.

At $9100 I can justify this project to my wife even if I have $20k in it by the time I'm done going through it.

I have family who have an interior shop, so we'll do that there and can make panels if I can't source them. Overall I'm hoping some time, money, and sweat equity will get me into a V Drive when I can't justify $20-25k up front to my wife right now.

Anyone have leads on a trailer or the pile of parts I need for this thing? :D haha
