1983 Supra Rider

[jamesra]

I just picked up a newer boat and will be selling my old one in the spring. Or now if someone wants an early start on cleaning it up for spring time. It was listed at the end of last season and I never ended up selling it. It is not perfect the seats have some cracks and tears but they aren't too bad. The stingers are good and the floor has been replaced with marine grade pressure treated plywood. It has a dual axle supra trailer that is in decent shape but needs tires. It has been converted to electronic ignition and runs good. I used it all last year. It was winterized at the end of last year and could be ready for water in the spring simply by cleaning it up and normal spring prep work. Its got a 351 in it. It comes with a fly high pylon and fat sac seat. its got about 650 hours on it. I am located near Rochester NY.
Asking $3700/bo

Nothing? Help me out. I'm going to be listing it on craigslist in a month or so. Am I asking to much?

[chrisk]

I don't think you're asking too much, you'll find someone to bite on it.

[asmodeus2112]

I'd buy that for 3700...

[DAFF]

Was the foam pulled during the floor resto?? Does the glass sound hollow around the engine mount areas?? What did you end up buying??

[jamesra]

the foam hasn't been pulled. I don't think it sounds hollow.

[jamesra]

They are removed. I have a mix of pics of it on my computer that I have posted because its been too cold and snowy up until now to take some new ones. The front rail is removed as well but I do still have it.

[csuggs]

Not asking too much at all in my opinion as long as it is in running condition.

[jamesra]

No kids. But the rider is the only open bow i've seen with a rail like it. The rest of the models have a low rail or just grab bars in the bow. I will find a picture, i just switched computers so i'm still transferring stuff over.

[jamesra]

This is It without side and front rail. I was going to do a tower and a Supra logo on the side. I think it would look good. Also there is some weight in the boat in this pic that is why its sitting lower.

Also not having the side rails makes it much easier to get in and out of the boat when docked. Here are some more pics.

This is proof that you can surf behind an older boat. There really isn't much added weight in the back in this picture. I'd say 300lbs plus a person. I think if i had weight in the bow it would make the wake a little longer.

I see your dog is a Sam Adams fan.

[jamesra]

Sam Adams is always a good choice. ;) Except for their Pale Ale. Not my favorite. My dog also agrees.

[jamesra]

Bump. Make me an offer. I'm looking to make some room in my yard.

[cadunkle]

Do you have the snap cover for this? Was the whole floor replaced or just the soft spot patched? Was it glassed over after the patch? Motor/trans mount bolts are tight and don't spin?

Not real serious, but would be interested for the right price (well below your asking). This would be a boat to keep at the family lake house since the boat there sucks and it on its last leg, and it's a long tow to bring my Saltare every summer with gas prices and whatnot (almost 500 miles each way).

[jamesra]

Price drop, $3500, make me an offer. id really like to move this thing by memorial day

[dshaff24]

Not a fan of the color.. But for 3500 its well worth that! I think that boat looks a lot better with out the front bow's and sides.. and that Fat Seat is just awesome! Cool pics.. Post this thing on Craigslist!

[jamesra]

Thanks guys. I do have the snap cover for it. the floor wasn't glassed back over but its pressure treated plywood.

[jamesra]

Bump. I haven't gotten many hits on craigslist. The lake i'm near has a ton of money. They all have new boats. I'm willing to consider offers.

[mapleleaf]

Remember the Ken Helfrich boat?...Didn't his start out this color too and look what he did with it.

Just add some more Benjamins and paint it any color you wish. Benjamin Franklin plus Benjamin Moore.

Nice Dan, Interlux Moore!!!,
If I didn't have a newborn this'd be a perfect little project.....
Not too far from home either!!!

[jamesra]

I sold the pylon and the fat seat separately so I am dropping the price. $3000/bo

[jsandy]

man i would have jumped all over this boat. if you put this for sale in the south it wold sale for 5 grand easy

[cadunkle]

I don't really need another boat and don't want to insult you, but if you need to get rid of it I'd do $1500.

[pwildbil]

Is this still For sale?
