I bought this boat in 2015. At the time the engine needed repairs but I was able to get 1 good ride out of it till it threw a rod on the Fourth of July. We were out by the Brooklyn bridge watching the fireworks. The police were kind enough to tow us home to Staten Island. Always an adventure when I’m the captain:)
I had planned on completely renovating the boat and started with the upholstery. I’m a huge Minnesota Vikings Fan ( please don’t be jealous or hold that against me ) so the plan was to rename it “ Valhalla” and paint it Purple and Gold. My thinking at the time was: If I make this as ugly as possible, even if my wife forces me to try and sell it, no one will buy it. Well, Here I am 16 months later and the wife is gone. ( that’s one way to lose 120 lbs of ugly fat ) No, she’s not dead, although sometimes I wish……… nevermind! Anyway, I got most of the upholstery done and I bought a brand new block to build a nice replacement Volvo Penta 5.0 liter engine. Rebuilt the heads and was ready to put it all together when my soon-to-be ex wife decided that she was too good for me. Probably right. So after 18 years of marriage and thousands of unimaginable sacrifices, she left me high and dry after she became a superstar singer in Russia. Google her, Nargiz Zakirova. She decided to use me as a publicity stunt and told a bunch of lies about me. Left me and our daughter broke and pretty much desperate. I have about 12Gs invested in this project but because I know how difficult it will be to sell this, I’ll accept the buy it now price of $8,750. Just enough to pay an attorney a retainer, pay the gas bill and keep the lights on.
A bit more about the boat: It has a Volvo Penta fuel injected 5.0 liter engine as previously mentioned as well as the matching Volvo Penta DPS DuoProp stern drive in very good condition.The engine is now occupying my shed and needs about 3 hours of work to finish putting it together.The drive alone can sell used for up to $4000, not including the Stainless steel matched propellers, which go for $1200 used. The hull is in excellent condition and the bottom has a fresh coat of paint. She needs a good cleaning and some TLC but other than that you’ll be getting so much more than your money’s worth. I have the frame for the bimini top as the boat cover. The trailer is a dual axle with brand new jack, hitch coupling and electric winch. the lights work and it’s registered. let me know if you have any other questions. feel free to call me at 347-742-8003
Thanks for looking:)
