I just looked at a 1977 Tahiti 18' jet with a 460 Ford and Berkeley non-split bowl. It had new paint and upholstery. Ugly rusted single axle trailer which didn't fit correctly. Thru-tansom exhaust and only short stringers for the motor mounts. My question is this: Are full stringers only important if you are going to go over 50 or 60 mph? Also, the guy didn't put the hull molding on after he painted it and you can see a gap all the way around the hull where it joins together. It is about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch all the way around. Is this a normal gap in this area? IF you cap it all the way around will this fix the gap problem? The guy wants $3500. for it. He had it about one year.
Any help would be great. Jay
I would say about $1500 high
