Now thats a sweet ride, how much for a trade in on a PT185 2004 with less than 10 hours on 60 hp merc

 

[Michael Snow]

Pat, you didn't give stats on hours, etc. Is it "new, never used", or is it a team boat? Also, is that a manual or hydro plate? I'm guessing it's an upgrade since the 911's I've seen had fixed setback plates and that looks like a jackplate.

 

[Ken Neeley]

Snow...it's a 929, not a 911 and most of them are rigged with hydraulic plates.



We used to rig all of ours with Bob's 10".



Pretty boat....."dem bassus luv sparkles"

 

[Michael Snow]

I know it's a 929, but I "assumed" that if the 911 had it, it was standard equipment in place of jack plates now.

 

[Pat Goff]

No Sparkles, all gel.



10" Manual w/hole shot plate.



32 hours on DDT.



CJL, gimme a call, we'll talk.

 

[Ken Neeley]

Sorry Snow....I thought your eyes were deceiving you.



And now that I opened mine and looked closer, there are NO sparkles!!!!!!

 

[Mark Hofman]

Then that boat will never catch bassus.

I'm going to share what I've learned about fiberglass and gel coat.



Gelcoat with polyflake/metal flake has a clear coat over it. Gelcoat without does not. If you scratch polyflake deep enough to get into the sparkles, you have an expensive repair. The same depth scratch in non-polyflake can be buffed out. If you have a solid color and scratch it, and the color at the bottom of the scratch is the same, you can fix it yourself free. The cheapest I've been quoted on a VERY small scratch that went into the polyflake was $150.



I can't tell what color bottom that boat has, but white is the least expensive to repair. I'm pretty sure that isn't a white bottom though.



Just thought I'd share what I've learned about gelcoat.

 

[Craig Roberts]

That is one SWEET looking boat. We've rigged 4 that color this year (901, 882, and 2 750's), and none lasted more than 2 weeks on the showroom floor.

I like the red. If I was into 'glass boats, and had the storage space, this is the kind of boat that could tempt me.



It really is sharp.

Retail Red..I am going to get me a new Vett the same color.........
