I was trolling Craigslist looking for anything related to my 1960 Holiday boat restoration project, and received a message from someone who wants to sell this boat (the top one) for $25. Not the same boat as mine, not even sure if it's a Holiday brand - some styling looks familar, other parts not at all the same. Almost looks like there's a center console?

Opinions? Anyone interested in pursuing this (it's in the midwest) let me know - I don't think it'll fit into my plans.

classicfins Offline Contributing Member Posts: 755 Karma: 26 Thank you received: 0	Ugh... The console is not original and someone has cut the deck/nose out to convert it to a fishing boat. What a waste of a redfish.. I'd run from this one... Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

I was not sure what I was or was not seeing. Maybe thats why he would not send a pic of front. But than I thought, my friend built a Batmobile Amphicar and this certainly could become a nice trailer.or maybe he has a Samoan in the falling down barn.... I do appreciate the insight. So I passed it on to my friend that lives very close to it. Maybe the cut out piece is in the dirt to. Thanks Dave P.S. shopping/hunting/learning is great fun, just what I needed.

My buddy Roger calls and says I am half owner of two boats and a trailer. Than I thought since this Red Fish is considered o fish ally junk....Change the front area using two rounded windshields. Once you leave original.... We might make a Red CarAqua Fish Shark Manatee.
***You Original Guys dont get all upset!!!*** Just thinkin' out loud. LOL Dave

I could hear Roger laughing at me as he described the condition. "Ya know Dave, you can find a real nice runner for $600 bucks down here." LOL. I have my excuse for a road trip to the Ozarks!!!

So he wants to pull a mold off to restore the first one. I think some weekend I will be knee deep in fiberglass resin building a Redfish.
