1987 Bluefin fish and ski boat.

I think I finally found my boat as long as I can get there to check it out! I have been shopping since January. I have spoke to the owner he is retired and moving south. Wants $2200.00 for the package. Unfortunately bad weather is coming in this weekend so I have scheduled an appointment for Tuesday morning.

Nice. I like the arced poles. That indicates the previous owner took extra caution regarding water while being stored! Looks like a winner.

Check the outboard carefully: a Force would be a deal killer for some people. If it runs and is in good shape (the motor), then that rig is probably priced pretty well (the hull looks nice). But be aware Force has been gone a while and they don't have a fabulous reputation.

CONDITION is the key in a used boat ... and some weirdos (yours truly) buy all kinds of crazy drive systems ... so, just be aware. Not necessarily afraid.

IF.... the motor checks out good then it looks like a good buy, with a good motor it would sell for more in my area. Pic look very nice!!

I'm hoping I can get there before it's sold. I'm not a fan of Force engines, however as long as it runs good it won't matter to me.

Went and looked at this boat today and found a bad transom. I didn't buy it. Although the cylinders had good compression. Cyl.1:125psi, 2:115, 3:115
