Default I'm thinking of buying a 1989 Thundercraft magnum "bubble boat"

Thanks John, Hey! thats a nice looking boat!

I am look at a cuddy as we speak. I'm really not a cuddy fan, but this
is a 21 foot, marquis, with a GM 305 mercruiser, and it's priced down
to where its reasonable.

A salesman of the highest (or lowest) degree. LOL!


Did you ever consider a walk-around cuddy? I've been very pleased with
mine, and it's much safer than the bubble boat for someone trying to get to
the front of the boat. Here is one like mine.

This one?

Having had both a center console and a w/a cuddy, I can't imagine why one
would want a center console.

Default I'm getting it next week!

Thats the one, John. I'll be picking it up next week!

Even if it's not that favorable, I can still part it out and come out
ahead.

I think

Well, you can see I didn't give much for it

Super! My Proline 21'er is also a '97, with a 5.7L Mercruiser. I've had
pretty good luck with it. I have had to replace the manifolds and risers,
belts, water pump, and a few other things, but all in all I've been pretty
satisfied with it.

Good luck. Let us know if the ad was correct, as it sounds to be in decent
condition.
