$61,000?????????? I think I'll keep looking for that DCB.
You have no idea that value of that boat. It's true that it's in the eyes of the beholder, but for you to go down and buy the motor alone, your probably looking at around 40-50K from what I've seen. It looks super clean, and I'm sure you can get the history of the boat from third parties, include Schiad themself, since Schiada owners are generally a close nitch group of people that check in with Lee at the factory regularly. That boat will last for years, then your grandkids can use it (especially if you tear out the interior). My dad's 20' Schiada pulled my mom on the NWSRA circuit for a few seasons in the early 80's. The boat has been used every summer for play, and will always be in the family. I begged my dad to sell it to me and he told me to get lost, so I bought my own 21'. I plan on having this for years. So again, years of enjoyment and a quality boat makes $61K seems like a steel to me, but then again, you're talking to a guy who has a cheap apartment that's living room is full of boat parts, and a nice truck and boat to go to the lake with a few months out of the year, since it's snowing outside right now.
the boat is very nice....40-50k for that motor??? wow!...i love those old shiadas,maybe if he keeps the motor can i offer on the boat??? say 10k??????

Do you think you will get a nice DCB for less?
Sounds like you are on a 1970's Spectra budget to me.
Give Carson Brummett a call. Tell him you want a bulletproof 1K horse turbo'd BBC for ski racing. See what he comes back at you with.
Good turbo motors are spendy. Great turbo motors, even more so. The level of detail in the boat and rigging is unbelievable. Until you've had one, you can't appreciate it IMHO.
He has a LOT more than 61K in that boat.

If you are on Nacimiento in the spring or on Cour D Alene during the summer, drop me a line. I'll give you a ride and show you what riding in a Schiada is all about. My Idaho biddies thought the same thing, then they finally went for a ride and about crapped their pants with excitement. (My goal is not to scare people when I drive, just take them up to their comfort level ((if it's less than mine)) and show them what the boat can do and how it handles). Ask any Schiada owner - it's definately worth the money.
they are well worth the money
The big question is where can you run one these days without
trouble. Even with turbos, the water cops pull you over in my neighborhood.
I've had a Schiada, two Hallett Vectors, and a Biesemeyer, and none of them
are legal in Parker AZ. Last year they asked me to come to the sheriff station
to launch if I wanted to run my turbo boat. The week before the ski races
one racer in a turbo schiada got a ticket for noise, and not having a coast guard approved life jacket ( they were both wearing Lifeline race jackets )
Don't get me wrong I love fast v-drive boats, but in our area we are running
out of places to use them. Thanks for letting me vent.
It can get ugly with the noise police. It may cost a few bucks, but how about a water jacketed SS pipe through the transom? I had such a setup on my last two V drives and they both were very quiet... It sounds like someone had a hard on for race boats that weekend... I bet the boats getting pulled over were running numbers
