Just saw this on SIA http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skii...t&postid=49620
I think its a typo.......15000
No, $1500 or "best offer." I have spoken with the owner and I am scheduled to go to look at it. It is very near to my house. Tranny is shot and boat is showing its age but only 800 hours on motor. Prime for restoration with typical wear and tear. Been on a lift its whole life, no trailer.
NoWake has a '91 Comp with composite stringers...crossing my fingers as owner states the stringers are fine. I have more pics and will keep ya'll posted.
Great find Foxriverat!!
Thats an awesome deal then............
I'm happy to announce this Comp has found a new home. Snagged it up for $1250.00 and definitely believe I got a great deal. Probably a Christmas gift I didn't need, but couldn't pass it up once I saw it in person and never found an ounce of rot. All the engine and pylon bolts were tight and floor was solid from forward to aft. She's not the prettiest girl at the prom, but she's all there and just needs some Mischief IV TLC.
Also, happy to report she is definitely a sister boat to NoWake's Comp and produced just 6 ahead of his, having the production number 149 to his 155 as both were built in January of 1991. Neither boats confirmed to be 100% composite but just a few months away from the change over at the time of their construction and this boat was rode hard and put away wet and yet, found no rot. Seat bases are all composite except for drivers seat but it was in great shape.
Thanks to Michael Hunter for going with me and helping with the inspection process and for also selling me a trailer so I can haul it off once the water comes back up. I know he would have liked to get his hands on this boat and I highly value his opinion when it comes to suggestions for repair.
This boat has spent its entire life on a lift with the same owner since new. Engine shows 801 hours.
Of course, the 1.23:1 tranny is shot so she's not running currently but I have a lead on a good used tranny (will compare costs against rebuild first) and hope to fix when I have a chance.
Since ad is down, will add a few pics shortly so everyone can see it.
That is a steal for 1250........ I’m envious
Congrats! Glad you scooped her up.
Supra awesome! Great job Foxriverat, Hunter and Mischief. So happy you’all found a big sis for us! I think she will make Supra forum history by the time your done with it.
Absolute steal, way to go D!

She needs a lot of cleaning and love but the bones are there .I'm sure Danial will give her what she needs.
Quick update: A few days away from grabbing this Comp. I bought it back around Christmas but has been still sitting on the lift waiting to be recovered. Lake is finally up enough to pull but I needed a trailer to get it home so I bought the trailer from Mr. Hunter that he bought in Orlando last year from the thread here.
https://forum.supraboats.com/showthr...ighlight=ferns. You can see before pics there and I may post a few also.
I just did a quicky spray paint job with some primer and white after pressure washing and grinding a few rust spots to clean it up since I will be storing the Comp for awhile before I begin to restore. Eventually, I will media blast the trailer and have it painted all red...professionally. However, it is now safe and road ready with new wood on bunks and fenders, new carpet, new bow stop, new swivel jack, new winch, new safety chains, new LED lighting, new PVC guide posts, and all stainless steel hardware. The tires were brand new and have DOT date of April of '16 which still have knobs on them which saved me a few hundred from the start.
I picked this trailer up for $400.00 bucks and subsequently put $470 bucks into fixing it up with the majority of that being LED lighting and very nice 20 ounce bunk carpet with rubber backing. I went ahead and added two additional lights to rear for safety reasons since the location of originals was blocked by the guide poles. It will do the job for now and then I will post up more on boat when I get it home and can start to dissect it.

Thursday ended up being the perfect day to go grab the Comp. We have a friend that lives just up the road on the same lake where the Comp was located and had just de-winterized her Nautique and so happened she called and said we could use it.
I took off mid-afternoon and made the 2. 5 hour drive up to NE GA and arrived at the marina with the trailer. I waited on forum member NGAVCHRIS who grabbed the Nautique 210 at friend's house and then came my way to pick me up.
Once we arrived at Comp, we went through the boat and cleaned out the previous owner's stuff.
We dropped it in the lake and noticed right away that lots of water was coming in. We had checked all the plugs prior so knew that wasn't the issue. We then pulled the back floor and found water flowing in by prop shaft. Of course I brought a bag of tools but I left them in truck waiting at marina, so we had to scramble to find a solution to fix. Once we lifted back up on hoist, first I hooked up the battery and tested the bilge pump to see if it worked and then by luck, NGAVCHRIS found a tube of Chap-Aid which he used to fill the leak pushing the lip balm up into the gap. He then took a plastic bag and rolled it up tight and then tied it around the shaft pushing into the same gap. We lowered the boat back in the water to test our McGyver make do and it was working wonderfully. After 45 min tow, we made it to the marina successfully and with not much water in bilge.
We made it back to the marina at sunset while we walked the boat around the docks until I was able to winch it up on the trailer in the frigid water. Once out, we fastened two straps around entire boat to secure to trailer and keep the old crappy rubrail from flailing around while driving home. The trailer did a great job and I made it home safe and sound with the new LED lighting playing a huge part in that.

Whats up with the Nauti it looks like it was stored under a tree without a cover?
Great Mcgyver, nothing like the adrenaline rush you get being out in a boat just before dusk knowing the water temp is in the 50’s and you may lose a boat and suffer a nice hypothermic insult or death. Reminds me that we are still running the original 28 yr old bilge in the comp. we do carry a back up on board just in case though. Love seeing those picks.
It is stored in a boathouse but hasn't had its annual cleaning. Bit of mildew on the seats. The rich look at these boats as a commodity, not as a love affair, so they don't maintain them themselves like we would. They sit on a lift and make a call to the local marina to get winterized/ de-winterized on the spot and then left uncovered for the season in a boathouse full of spiders.
If they fail, tomorrow they write a check for the repair bill or go buy another one. You can see the neglect on the Comp but for 25 years it did the job they wanted it to do. This Nauti was impeccable two years ago, today, not so much. You would cry if I showed you the scratches on the sides...I almost did.
Holy crap, 28 year old bilge pump? Things used to be built better I guess but using that boat twice a year doesn't hurt either I bet. :)
I spent the weekend cleaning up the Comp best I could. Started with a pressure wash and then on to the interior. Made me sick touching some of the filth. Was hoping to make run but haven't had a chance and with cooler weather dropping in along with the pollen, I decided to keep her in the garage for now.
I got the wave decal residue off the sides and you can clearly see this boat is red and not pink so I have something to work towards once I start to wetsand the exterior. I also took off the rubrail insert that had failed and cleaned off the tape they had holding it on. I took a few decals off the windshield that didn't add any value for me.
The dash is in good order and looks pretty good in my opinion for its age. After charging the battery, I took some time to test all the switches seeing what works and what doesn't. The gauges flickered when I turned the key over and were all backlit.
Surprisingly, all the lighting seems to be in good order from anchor lights to the courtesy lights under the OB seat. These breaker switches suck as they are hard to press and reset or turn off so I will need to look at replacements down the road. Found out the boat was radio delete from the factory. I may add one down the road.
The upholstery is really worn and not having much success getting the dark black stains off but I scrubbed as hard as I could and even tried a Magic Eraser to no avail. It is what it is for the moment and at least I can sit in the seats and not feel yucky. I'll continue to scrub but the engine is worse as far as dirt and grime. Continue to update as possible.

I will catch slack for saying this but all rules are out when trying to clean 28 yr white vinyl, it either gets clean or your in for replacement. I remember not only the magic eraser but lots of sun, soft scrub and Clorox cleanup. I went with the no “icky” feeling and got lucky.
Mischief...... Are the seat cushions and rear storage lid bottom plastic ? It looks like it in your pix. Are the seat backs and driver seat made the same ? Mine are wood. I need all new stuff.
HELP !!!!!
I'm jealous of the back storage area being plastic instead of carpet. Can't seem to keep that compartment dry in the summer.
Yes, so far all the seat bases are plastic.
I thought you wanted a '97 model with a 350 Chevy? What did you end up buying? Or was this an existing boat?
Yeah, that was the easiest thing I've had to clean so far but I know the feeling as my Sunsport 242 has carpet where the ballast bags are. I'd like to meet the genius who thought that was a good idea.

Few more pics of nothing special. I was vacuuming out the bow storage and found the interior light. Then found where the head unit for the stereo was prewired to along with four speakers.

A crazy thing happened this weekend. I found my 85 comp. 350 Chevy and drug it home. I thought it was gone forever !
I would still like to fine a '97 !
Thanx
The old girl has been run hard and put away wet ..... REAL WET! Floor has some soft spots. Driver seat is toast. Engine sounds like it has a rod knocking. Prop has a large chunk missing out of it. And as for the stringers.... I can only assume the worst !!!
I will post pix soon.
I'm going to need pretty much everything.
P.S. send parts !
Mischief...
That boat is beautiful !
What is the engine cover riser made of ?
Thanx !
etktryd
I have a 85 comp I am using as a parts boat for another project. Let me know what you need I may have it.
Michael,
Does it have a fiberglass or wood platform? Also is the 12volt outlet/cigerette lighter in good shape?
I need the drivers seat..... BAD !!!!!

All seat cushions are about 25 lbs. The boat is in the garage and the hull has more water in it now than it did when I picked it up a week ago. Might be why the tires on the trailer look half flat !
