Christ, you'd have to be even more mental than me to buy that thing!!

I've never seen such a bad deck and hull combination, it's like a hippo fitted to the top of a hamster!

Larby a project like this is a walk in the park for you......

I've seen your threads

This will need a lot less time and fiberglass than your use to....is that why your not interested because you could knock this one off in a weekend..?

Seriously from the front it works its just that back end what would you do....?

Only joking good luck with the revenger allways loved them.

[Jon Fuller]

I think one would have to ignore the existence of the cougar deck, and just build a new, suitable item. The hulls are pretty, and it looks in reasonable nick to me. Could make a lovely boat of it, but you'd need some time and a decent budget.

[Jon Holmes]

But as most of the budget sits inside the boat why not get a decent boat to start with?

[Jon Fuller]

Well, some people like to create something of their own, or as much of a project 'their own' as is reasonable.
That hull would allow that, with the knowledge it's from a good stable.

Q: If you don't like yank stuff, and want a project, what would you buy?

Now as you hunted for yonks for a boat, you know that isn't easy to answer. What would you have done if buying American wasn't an option? (coz you didn't want to / want one)

Clearly it needs someone with the ability to do such a project, but that's pretty obvious.

I sold this on Ebay last year for Carl (Andy's Edwards Grandad ) from memory went for about £200

And £700 3 weeks ago

I see where you are coming from Jon and im sure that it would make a great project for someone.

If it had not been hacked about it would probably make more sense but in my opinion, if i was going to spend around 50k fitting this boat out id want a better cared for hull to put it in.
