It's a Marquis similar to mine. it's a neglected junker but
has a lot
of neat goodies on it and a great bow railing seeing mine got
destroyed. 2 year old aftermarket Alpha 1, and a 305 chevy
v-8. Dont
know if it runs or not, I doubt it. But the trailer is
exceptional.

Too cheap (and I "DO" mean cheap!) to pass up.

Nice to have the room for this fleet!

LOL!

Hah, this isn't a 'fleet' boat, guys. It's rotten. But the bow
railing
is good. the dual axle Shorline trailer is in really good shape
with
decent tires. And some recently new gauges. Working power trim
pump,
250 cu. GM 165 hp-straight six (winterized 2 years ago) and a then
new aftermarket Alpha drive and Gimple bearing .Plus a good
factory
bimini top frame assembly. No prop.

I really don't need the trailer but after salvage/scrap of the
hull,
I'll probably take the trailer and make it into a flat bed to use
around the farm. Both of my brother's boats have straight 6's as
well as my nephews 74 chevy utility truck, so there's a good spare
there, and we all run mercruiser alpha's, so the drive will be
in the
inventory. etc etc. besides, we're planning the big 'river cruise'
next year and the spare outdrive and gimble bearing may come in
handy
when we check the integrity of the outdrives. when outfitting to
go.

OR, I might install the engine and drive works on the pontoon
instead
of using my spare 140.

Even though I drove 120 mi. to get it, I thought it was all worth
$250.00.

Ah! Cheap thrills!

?;^ )

Sounds like a winner to me, Tim. That's a good idea for the use
of the trailer
too.

Yes, i could use a good farm trailer for bringing int he
firewood,a nd
just general clean up... After the hull is stripped then it will be
introduced to Mr. Stihl.in which their meeting will end with great
resolve. Mr. Stihl will be championed of course.

Make sure that finds its way to YouTube!

LOL! Yeah, like the 'how to dispose of ....." series of videos.


Well, we could combine the fireworks/dynamite and scrap boats
thread! :)


And throw em into your holes, eh?
The fiberglass would be a great reinforcement if it was finely shredded.
