Yup, I've got a few of them-cosmetic- but for $3000 for a solid boat
with good engines, I can't complain!
Anyone a proponent of the dual function controls?

Thanks,

Don't be concerned about them.

My father-in-law also had an older Uniflite ... pre-blister year (1972).
He sold it back in 2002 after about 15 years of boating with it. I just
found it listed for sale again on Craigslist.

That boat would be perfect for somebody I know.

Out of curiosity, what would be a "Best Offer"?


He sold it in 2002 for 5k. I don't know what the current owner is looking
for, but I'd guess about 3k or so. It had rebuilt 318's installed in
2001-2002 and had new aluminum gas tanks put in as well. It needed some
work - mostly cosmetic - and the wiring had been jury-rigged a bit over the
years. He also had one (or both ... I can't remember) of the transmissions
rebuilt as well. It was due for the engines, and shortly after he had them
done his health started going downhill. He had a mild heart attack and
that, plus the fact that he was pushing 75 years old convinced him that his
boating days were over.

I'll bet he caught many 1000's of flounder and lobsters over the years on
that boat.
