We buy used boats and fix them up and sell them...work on them next to the garage...
sometimes we do well and sometimes now...it is always a gamble when you buy what you think is a real bargain fixer upper and then you find something wrong with the engine that is going to cost alot more to fix than you originally thought. Even with our many years of experience that does happen from time to time. If you have a boat buying, fixing and reselling experience to share please post it in the comments section. We just went out in one of our most recent purchases that we had worked on for a very long time and ended up in the middle of Lake Monroe which is near Orlando and had to be towed in. So it was not a very good day for us.
I have been looking on craigslist and everywhere online for a used out drive for it.
