Probably an old Chris Craft that is worth $100k if it’s restored.

Had to look at the photo twice to make sure it wasn’t one of the grey 319’s.

Absolutely, for the low low price of ten years of your life and $140,000 you can have a boat worth $100,000.

Not even close. An existing boat shop or a serious hobbyist with their own at home shop can make that into a spare time project. The shop owner just has his/her employees work on it in between customer jobs in the free time. It then becomes just the expense of the parts and materials.

Somebody will make a nice profit on this.

Worth noting that I don't believe it to be a Chris Craft. The engine compartment forward of the helm position was very rare. The port side helm position is even more rare. This could be a Gar Wood, circa 1930's. $140,000 would be really cheap fully restored.

The other possibility is a Higgins, since they built port side helm stations, but I haven't been able to find a Higgins with a forward engine compartment. Either way, it's a rare boat. If it's a Gar Wood, the left helm is an oddity. If it's a Higgins the forward engine is an oddity. I bet this thing restored would be a top dollar boat.

I think it’s cujo’s boat and he’s trying to sell it

Looks like a hunk of drift wood to me.

Meh......I’d rather have a Miata.

Do you not put a value on your time? I sure do, and I own 2 boats. As long as you use them, they aren’t as bad as the “break out another thousand” crowd thinks. Neither one of mine have ever broken down on the water and I’ve owned one for 10 years and the other one has been in my family for 26 years.

It also depends if you can do the majority of the work yourself. If you have a marina do everything then it’s expensive.
