hi Raiders i was thinking of buying:
boat is a savage avenger with a 75 hp mercury 1986 motor which was rebuilt last year also re cond gear box all is going very well.
top speed gets up around 46 MPH(74KPH) & gets there very fast, great for skiing or pulling a tube
starts first go
It has been fitted with ski pole, new gauges, lights, bilge pump, compos, submersible LED lights on trailer work great & new front windscreen on boat. Plus many extras
only thing needs a new seat & a polish.
i will be transforming it into a fishing boat, it looks in good cond the trailer looks good and there is no rot in the boat, i love the oldschool look it has and was thinking of doing some work to it like a paint job and installing fishing gadgets (fishfinder, live well, rod holders) and new carpet and some nice swivel seats (currently it has one bench seat that is not visually appealing) the price is set at 3k, and i am getting it from a family friend because they are upgrading. what do you raiders think? at 3k good value or a bit pricey? it has potential? does anyone own a savage avenger what do they think of the boat in general? im a bit hesitant to buy a boat older than i am but at the same time love the oldschool factor.
Thanks in Advance
Deano
