Very nice. I'd love to have a boat.

Its a 1992 Stingray 21ft, 560hrs, 10 passenger, 350 Small Block V8 making about 250hp to the prop. Came with the trailer. We have a family friend that owns a Marina in Shenley that hooked us up with the seller. The owner was in his mid 60's and just wanted it gone. He was asking $3k for it. Offered him $2,700 and he took it.

First time we took it for a test drive we had it full throttle and was only going about 30mph. Had the guy change both fuel filters, all spark plugs, caps, wires and clean the carb. Next time we took it for a test ride it ran like a champ. As the guy was pulling it out of the water he got 2 flat tires on the trailer (dry rotted). So it got new tires all the way around.

Bought a new cover for it yesterday. The rear seat was broke from people stepping on and off all the time in the same spot so i re-built that.

$2700? Good grief that sounds like a steal!

It was.....a few people at the Marina told him that he needs to sell that for much more. Old guy just wanted out of it. My gain!!!

Does it have a 350 mag? $2700 is a steal. The outdrive and engine alone could bring in that. You go to pittsburgh to put in?

350 Mercruiser.....Guy put a $550 prop on it last year. Launching in Harmar for the time being. Looking at getting a wet slip next year. Our family goes to deep creek every few months for a long weekend.
