hurricane Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Ouch. Wonder if the boat was strapped to the trailer and if it was would it have stayed on the trailer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linesider 159 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Thanks for letting me know about the 12k, I was planning on offering 4k. No insurance?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyG8r Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I may be going against the crowd here, but I don't think he's too far off in his price. Motor is almost brand new, with extended warranty. Probably worth 9K. Expensive PP, TM, GPS. New fuel tank and lots of little things already done that would end up being a couple grand if you needed to take care of them after the fact If you can get the whole package for 9-10, trailer for 2, and are capable of doing the gl*** work yourself, you could be in a really nice updated boat for the price of an original ragged one.

whichwaysup Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 This looks like a job for Riptide. . . . Man, I hate it for this guy. I trailer my MA all over the place and this is my biggest nightmare. I've got insurance on her, but I'd still hate to see something like this happen. I wonder if his auto policy would cover it at all. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1sh0n Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I thought the vehicle covered the boat will being trailered? Is that not the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day5fishing Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 That is not the case. Your vehicle pulling the boat only covers liability, should the boat and trailer come loose from the tow veh and center punches another veh the liability from the tow veh is extended to boat and trailer.

Conceptzj Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 yeah, Ive been communicating with him some. I would really like the Motor, PP, GPS, TM. But it has to work out for both sides. He really had a nice boat before and it would of been a 15-17K redfisher. But you can't overpay, motor is worth 7000 max, and the other items that are removable maybe another 2000. I know he will come off the 12k but still not close enough to be worth it for most. The hull looks destroyed and even the best repair guy is not gonna want to put 5k of work into a 8k hull.

96 Redfisher 18 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Ok let's clear some things up since this is my boat. First, boat was secured to the trailer with straps. They failed. They hooks bent straight in the back, and the front strap snapped Second, insurance was in the process of being finalized. Probably shouldn't have taken it out the couple times I have but I couldn't wait. So yea that was stupid As far as the price goes it is slightly high for 2 reasons. One is I'd rather fix it and have it back to use. And second is to start slightly high and come down for all you guys who watched some tv show where they got some item for 1/2 it's value and flipped it for double what it's worth and think you can do it because you saw it on tv or read about it in a forum. To say the rig is worth 7 max is crazy. The motor is worth 7-8 it's self. I have the receipt from 11/09/2013 for $12,457.88 and that doesn't include the extra 3 years of warranty. The motor has 245 hours and has been regularly serviced, receipts to prove. It has a 4 blade Power tech stainless prop plus 2 additional 3 blade stainless props The one month old power pole pro is worth 1,200 (atleast) and the trolling motor and 2 new group 27 batteries are worth $800 so there's another 2k. The hull has newer hinges and brand new seals on all hatches. Trim tabs, a brand new helm sea decked polling platform, a front casting platform also seadecked, and a new 30 gallon fuel tank installed by Isla Marine on 4/15/2015 receipt for $2,633.21. So I feel comfortable saying even wrecked it's worth 2-3k I think 10-12k is more than fair. Sorry it's not the deal you saw on tv once. I'm sure whoever bought it would fix it and it would be on Craigslist for 20k. I looked for months before buying this boat and I wish I would have seen Hewes at the prices y'all say.

linesider 159 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 96 redfisher, regardless, its an awful sight to see that happen to a cl***ic hull and i wish you all the best in the situation, especially since you didnt own the boat very long. Not to throw salt in the wound, but for future reference and to prevent something like this happening again, you can get insurance with a quick phone call to your agent and minor information (hull, trailer, motor id), ***uming you know who you wanted to go with. . Hopefully this will all work out for the best for you, again, best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfish Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Ouch. Sorry to see this especially after all the work it sounds like you've done to her. Just remember something is only worth what someone will pay for it. That's even more so true on something unique like this where your not going to find a real comparable. If $ is an issue, you might be better off parting it out yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Folks, salt in a wound. Put yourself in his shoes. We've all done stupid stuff, cut corners, taken risks. Most of the time it works out. When it doesn't, it takes awhile to permeate. Sometimes we learn from the mistake, sometimes we don't, but I think we leave this topic alone. Redfisher took a hit none of us would wish on anyone. Encouragement and sympathy are a better antidote to advice right now. At least that's what I'd rather. Tough to find yourself on a forum you weren't even a member of and find folks poking holes in your every move. He's an MBC owner, let's help him out. Anybody have a repair connection that might be able to help this guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96 Redfisher 18 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 The receipt is from 2 years ago and I realize it isnt worth what it was bought for but it doesn't lose 7k in value in 2 years and 240 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linesider 159 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 The best connection i can offer is my fibergl*** guy but he is in Palm Harbor so he isnt that close to you. Hes worked on plenty of them and would make the boat like brand new i know that. i know he has also done almost identical cap/rubrail work when my buddy hit a channel marker. If you click the link you will see the photos of the flats boat on the first page 96 redfisher, heres his link: http://www.bluewaterboatworks.com/ If you call, tell him Shane on the mbc forum sent you. Doesnt hurt to get a rough estimate 2nd opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96 Redfisher 18 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 I think that 7k is a fair price for a just over 2 year old motor with extended warranty, 3 stainless props, gauges, and controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96 Redfisher 18 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 To the guy who quoted me "my buddie does fibergl*** I help him" one the guy is not my buddy. I said I have a guy that I know who does fibergl*** for one of the local dealers. That's where the boat is now. I said I've helped him in the past because I have a rough knowledge of fibergl*** and gelcoat. Not in a million years would I try and do the work myself. That's why it's at a professionals shop and I'm trying to get quotes from other professionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96 Redfisher 18 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Believe me I know the real world. I deal with it everyday I go to work. I'm far from butt hurt about you disagreeing with me. I came here to maybe look for someone with a hull, good fibergl*** guy. Unfortunately before I could ask for help I came across this thread and figured I'd try and clear the air since you don't know me or my situation. If I don't find the right buy at the price that's worth it for me to sell, no problem, I have the money and will get my mistake fixed. If you aren't the guy that's gona buy it at what I want for it and don't have any useful information for me then you're wasting my time. I've always heard this was a decent forum with decent information not just full of guys who are looking for their next flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
