I am in a situation where I am a bit out of thoughts. Here is the delema.
I bought my 93 sport last year in 1/2 way rough shape and I worked my butt off over the winter to make it what it is today and now it is nearly mint. A solid 9 I would say. I like my boat and it works great, runs awesome, just put a New Dimension tower on it. I use it primarily for wakeboarding. I put anout 20 hours on it since I bought it last fall for a total of 435 hours.
Now, a boat has come up that is nagging me. I went to look at it and it is a 95 ss with the efi GT40 with about 550 hours. The boat is in need of some hull love and interior is ok, the seats are good and upolstry is good but it has some stains and some sloppy installs on equipment that need to be addressed. The one major kicker is that it has a first gen FCT on it and that will not fit in my garage since it wont fold. Beyond that it is ugly too and the board racks are not usable due to pieces not being there to function. The boat also had some previous hull fractures that was addressed by CC in 2000 by supplying a new hull for the boat with all equipment transfered and the addition on the force fed (not pump fed I guess, I dont know about that style if anyone knows, please, fill me in) hard ballast tanks in the trunk. The boat price is 24K.
I dont want to take on 2 boat payments but I think this particular rig may be worth it, but would like some advice. I want a V drive but am wondering if this is as good as I hope it is minus the tower or should I wait for a newer SAN in a few years when mine is paid off (san being a pre 2002). I guess I am looking for advice on worth or ability to sell my boat somewhat quickly or this year even.
