My gut says run by the pictures.:banghead: The clutter and mess are not helping the sale but perhaps its not all that bad.... Its part of the adventure I guess. Looking will not cost me much other than some time and fuel.

Talked to the owner and going to take a look in a few days once it warms up a touch. Posted a few more pics to let other chine in on their thoughts. My biggest issue is the deck over the aft cabin. Not sure what the original surface should be. To me the boat looks like a disaster but might be a...

Name of the boat is Hawkeye.... Perhaps someone has a connection to her from the past...

Yes, same boat. With your knowledge of the Canadian market do you think this one is worth a look. I think this one needs lots but it did have a decent survey back in 2010... I've got my eye on two actually. The other boat is a 3270 Bayliner which needs much less but it has been sitting too a...

I've been looking at a 1975 MT 34 which needs loads of work. My fear is it might exceed its value in repairs but the owner is open to offers.... So what would one be worth in salvage condition. My theory is to purchase it with the option of parting it out if needed. It has been in dry dock...

As a snow contractor I know the harms of salt and wiring. If the boat was in fresh water then I would take the plunge as long as the project made financial sense. Salt water.... No thanks. Them gremlins will always be lurking and munchin

I could see the cleaning of the coolers after a catastrophic mechanical failure or if there was a overheating issue. Personally I think the inline filters should take care of any contaminates. Now a full fluid change I would agree with if it was due. It is a good feeling when the oil samples...

I like having a wiring diagram too of as many components as possible. As for the breakdown I always look it as an adventure more than a set back. You made many new friends and who knows what else.....

We are both are 43 with two children 11 and 13 this year. I myself never plan on retirement and own a Landscaping/cleaning/concrete company. My wife a RN for almost 24 years is ready today. Love the raising the kids on dirt and everyone who is living out their dreams. Too many never make it to...

I've done some research on the hull design of this boat and it seems to be mixed.. Anyone have any positive or negative comments ?? Attached is a pic. The boat will be mostly used on Lake Erie, Detroit river and Lake St. Clair. Till recently I was looking more towards the 32XX series Bayliner...

The boat was painted years ago... I generally hate painted boats, but the price of this one has me willing to make a exception. Hoping the boat structurally is undamaged just the paint is peeling back from the heat. The drive line is perfect. The more I think of it, driving to where the boat...

So after lots of searching I have stumbled across a gem in the rough. Its a 89 Cooper Prowler 10meter. Over the winter is sat next to a boat which caught on fire and the 10 meter sustained some smoke damage and a little heat damage. I have yet to personally inspect but the owner said it is a...

Every new captain should have to read these stories... Playing on the lakes makes my sea trials insignificant in comparison.

Thanks guys for all of your help. I think the engines are not going to be a good fit for my application and will pass the opportunity off towards someone who looking for a good deal. Located in Windsor, the other side of the river from Detroit Here is the link... Grey Marine Diesel Engines |...

Some very good points have been brought forward towards the build. Instead of one boat and pouring all my efforts into it I like the ideas of 3 baby steps perhaps 4 working towards the boat of my dreams. I have always been able to create positive cash flow from my personal purchases...

The only problem with the local diesels is the price. Usually adding almost 15k to a similar gasser model which makes the boat out of reach. I'm a cash guy who will not buy with a loan and has waited before for the right opportunity. My thought is to buy the boat, enjoy it while scrounging up...

Seller stated they are a 427 with 130HP inline six. However they are very clean for a fresh removal with 890 hours.

Here is the side view.... So the million dollar question. What's it worth?? Will it be super loud?

Has anyone ever had Grey marine products ?? Looking at a pair of 427 diesels and was looking for real world advice. There complete with transmissions and are from a 38' steel boat.

I've been looking for it seems forever for the perfect starter big boat. While my budget is not one of great proportions it does allow me to have some selection. I have narrowed my search to two possible boats. They are both Bayliners one a 3270 and the other a 3217. Priced on the lower end...

I think the most important thing is not to push a purchase if things are not working fluidly. Sometimes things happen to slow the process but I too believe in the "If it was meant to be" attitude. Beautiful vessel ...
