project boat for the islands

[wickeditch]

box , hope you dont mind me posting this here but wanted some feed back on this one.

well with the economy and the U.S. new pres, i dont feel i should go in debt for what i really wanted but this boat i think will be great for down in D.R.

1975 prowler, 35 loa. 11,6 beam and drafts 2 ft.
she has tripple nickle cumms in her with less than 300 hrs.

i figure when i get her moved to the house and can have her finished in about 3 to 4 months and be ready to run her south, tell me what you see or do , the last pic is the way i want her to look when iam done, that capt spent some real love bringing her back to life, 1970 prowler , tell me what you think gang.

A bit of TLC and you'll have a beauty on your hands. Good Luck and post your renovations

Whats wrong with it now??? I'm just kidding, so how much does a boat like that cost and what are the projected amounts to have it look like you want her to? But I'm sure you will make it what you want for a lot less than if you had to buy a 35' similar but new or like new. I look forward to the updates over the next couple months. One problem some people have is taking on things but not getting them done like planned.

LOOKS LIKE IT HAS GREAT POTENTIAL.
I HAVE A 23' SEA OX IN THE BACK YARD THAT I AM SLOWLY REFITTING RIGHT NOW. I RESCUED IT FROM A COUPLES BACK YARD FOR A SMALL INVESTMENT, BUT WHEN I GET HER COMPLETE IT WILL BE SWEET AS WILL THIS FINE VESSEL.
GOOD LUCK!!

well gang, for an update, half to say i love those kingfish guys, bought a full eletronics package for the boat, an e-120,,e-80, 10 k hd radar with a few other odds and ends for $8500 all brand new. i hope the rest of the build goes as easy as this or hope it points in the good direction.

i heard alot of people say thay have alot of probs with ray stuff but ive been running it for 4 years and love it, had a few bugs but it the person that does the install to make it right.

iam really looking at to get ride of the old cummins and goes with john deer or perkinns diesels, anyone have any thoughts to these motors//.

[triniswordfish]

go with some yanmars is my advice if you are getting new engines i would seriously consider them.
just my 2cents worth

A few years ago we were refitting a 68 45 hatteras. He picked the john deer's, he Loves them.

The fuel burn is unreel...

get a price on the Cummins re-con engines. Hard to beat the price and warrantee. Good power and reliability. My 2 cents. Frank, SeaPower
