TOPIC: Should i or not?

I can,t seem to say no and i don,t want to walk away from her.But i really can,t seem to find the time to restore her.Don,t really know what she is yet but i think it is a Bell buoy about 20' long she sure need a full restoration to make her shine.

Commander,
With your talent. You can't let that one go!!

I concur with Dave!

Pretty sure she is a Skagit,'58/'59/? Maybe BillR will confirm. Will you reveal it's location if you pass on it Commander? I am just across the border from you I believe.

The same photo is used in both the '58 & '59 ads.

The photo sure looks pretty nice,Sure i will let you know where it is if i pass up on her she is only 20 minutes from the blain border.I try to find out more info on the boat tomorrow to see if it is register yet.But Now i saw that photo i have to think about it tonight.

LOL, should have never posted that link, just kidding. I sure like the burgundy in that ad. We sometimes cruise with a guy who has a pink & soft gray version of that one you posted.His was retrofitted with a volvo penta set up I blieve.

Either Skagit or BellBoy 20ft. Check the bottom really close as the 59 and 60s can hook or go the other way. Looks to be a 59 Skagit by side trim and cuddy cabin. Clint

Yes, she's a 1959 Skagit 20 Express. Slight chance she's a 1960, I'd have to see the full side shot to tell you.
As Clint says, check the bottom with a straightedge longitudinally as the later ones 59 on had a web girder stringer system rather than lengthwise fiberglass stringers.
We've had a few apart, and have found the quality of the web girder layup varies; excellent on some but very thin mat layup on others.
Nice layout on those boats, and that's a real glass windshield suitable for windshield wipers. The 59 had the nicest fiberglass windshield frame, by far the stiffest of all the 20 Skagit winshield frames.
Give me a ring Bill, you still have my number?

Looks like a nice boat- And one of those that if you pass on now, you'll probably regret later... Looks like it needs some work, but looks like it'd be well worth it!

went and saw the boat this morning.the owner is so rude and think he know everything about the boat.He said she is so strong and ready to go anywhere,so i just play dump with him.I ask if he know what kind of boat is it and he look at be and said no,do you? no i don,t i told him.How old is the boat i asked him and he said it is about 20yrs old so i just looked at him and said O ya.How much do you want to sale it for?$3500 he said.Sorry i just have $500 cash on me now but let me think about it more before i gave you an offer. before i meet him i had a chat with the guy next door and found out that the boat been sitting there for 5-6 yrs now.And last yrs he was going to sale it to someone for $750 but that guy walk away from it.I will call him back sometime next yrs and offer $500 for it only cause that is all i am willing to pay for it.

Thanks for the update Commander. My guess is at that price point it will be there another 5-6 yrs and honestly I think you were on target with a $500.00 offer.

Love those colors.
Here's our friend Greg's Miss Pinky.
His has been converted to a 120hp chevy 4 cylinder mercruiser sterndrive. Quiet and great fuel economy. Kinda cool.
