Look out boneyard off of Venice, I'm heading your way.. I picked up this boat for an excellent price as it's been sitting for 11 years and the engine is siezed up. It's an '85 Chris-Craft 214VF Scorpion with a center mounted Mercruiser V8. (Engine is underneath the steering station with an extended driveshaft back to an Alpha outdrive on the rear)
The new engine is in progress (Freshwater-cooled Vortec 383) and the hull is being prepped to get completely re-done. (Strengthened stringers and transom, new gelcoat in/out, and all new hardware)
The four photos are a) After $17 in quarters at the car wash. b) Just after picking it up. c) from original sales brochure d) from an older sales brochure but shows the layout better.
Will let everybody know when it's finished (will be a while, the hull estimate alone is 125 hours)...
