Ok, as some of you know, I am going through a crisis with my 79 VIP bass boat and the transom. Of all the options I have mentioned, here is another. I can try to sell my boat as a project boat. I just don't know how much to list it for. I will list all of its features and maybe you all could help me out. Well here goes.<br /><br />1979 VIP Bass Boat 17' w/ 80HP Mercury engine. The topside paint which should be blue is cracking and faded to a blue/green. The interior is faded and carpet needs to be replaced. It has a fancy motorguide cordless footpettle trolling motor and a wide eye fish/depth finder. all lights work. tachometer, gas guage work. Motor is in top notch working order. The transom is about shot. Trailer is in good condition, but could use recarpeted rails. Trailer lights work.<br /><br />Let me know what yall think. I may sell it letting whoever buys it know that it needs a new transom befor it hits water. I may can buy another boat for next summer, but nothing too new. Sorry so long. Thanks everyone.
