I looked at several boats last year, so the details of each tend to run together now. If I remember correctly, this one was sitting behind a metal storage building on a winding road (aren't they all) on the shores of Canyon. Owner wasn't available to meet, but I was invited to look around. A bit more of a basket case than I was looking for. Appeared to have been sitting for quite awhile. I think the hull was in overall good shape, but the interior was pretty much gutted (I think he had the pieces somewhere). The 454 was gone, but had a 350 crate short block available (could use existing mounts) but I didn't want the hassle of sourcing the remaining marine components. The trailer was rough & needed tires. Didn't get as far as really opening her up to check stringers and such (felt a little uneasy tearing into a boat on the side of the road w/out the owner around). Since you said you were just looking for a hull & based on the amazing work your posts showed you did with that Sunsport - it might be worth looking at. At the time, the guy sounded like he really needed it gone (not many lookers) so could probably be had for cheap (especially a year later if it's the same one). Good luck & again sorry for your loss.
That boat looks insane!!! That is one of the most badass paint/decal jobs that I've seen on a SunSport! How much did it set you back to paint? Are you doing interior? Take care of that baby!!!!
