Bought a bad boat: Now what???

[jbenbri]

Bought a boat when I knew better. 1988 2001 that apparently needs new stringers and floors. Didn't realize it till I stopped by car wash to rinse off a bit. I live just south of Atlanta and need to know how or where to fix. Or I will sell for the $5600. that I paid for it. HELP!!!!!!

Is that all! If you look at www.correctcraftfan.com you'll see methods and guys near you that have taken the hull down to nothing and started from there. Floors are easy. Stringer are a little harder depending on how bad they are. Keep in mind the structural part of the stringer is the glass not the wood inside. Lets get started.

Thanks for the encouragement.

$5600 is a dang good price for a 88 2001. With the money you spend on repairs, you should still be way ahead.

Good luck. It should be a fun project.

Or you could take it to Watersports Central in Buford, GA and have them fix it for you. They do good work, and have taken care of all my needs on my current 01 SAN, and previous boats. They are also the local Nautique dealer.

Is this the Boat that you went and looked at on Lake Jackson this week?

[jbenbri]

Yes it is. Do you know the boat? Do I know you?

[jbenbri]

Can you hook me up with some composite material for my new floors and stringers?

[morfoot]

Yeah Ben you know me. Tim Morfoot is me name,Wakeboarding is me game. Meet you when we went with Charlie about a month ago. I'm the guy who owns the red 88' 2001. Work in the composite shop so yeah I can hook you up with some glass to fix the boat.
