WANTED jet boat hull

Better grab this one...cheap enough to have shipped

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=80653&item=4518082663&rd=1

1972 21' Biesemeyer Jet Boat and Trailer
The hull is fiberglass and is in excellent condition. The engine, a 460 Ford V8, blew a head gasket, and is currently disassembled, as the donor was in the process of rebuilding it. All the engine parts, manifolds, mounts etc. are available and are included. The jacuzzi pump worked great when last used, and still turns easily. It has been lubed often by the donor. The steering and throttle cables work fine. The white jelcoat is in good condition, as is the green metalflake paint, but it could use a new clear coat. The boat is fitted with a surrey top. The seats and carpet were completely redone, and are like new. The boat has been used very little since new interior was installed. The Biese has been stored in a garage for the last 7 years. A tandem trailer is included and is in good shape. Tire tread is good, though tires are about 8 years old.

Doing some digging and I found that guy's web sight that had (or maybe still has) that 18' Checkmate Jet-Mate with the built 440 Mopar and Berkley pump with Jet-o-vator... It WAS for sale in June of 03 and I found his company home page web sight...For kicks, I'd call or e-mail to see if it's around... This boat was dang close to MINT when I saw it...plus it had a freshly built 440 in it...SWEET! He wanted $5000/offer for it then... Maybe it's still around???

I remembered today that I knew of one for sale 2 years ago locally. I'll be talking to the person that told me about it next week, and I'll remember to ask if it's still available.......

Not sure! We did talk yesterday about it. He's going to go to the state and see what he can do with it. I wonder if the bondo can be picked out of the transom to expose the original numbers?
 
We didn't talk friday, I thought he was going to call you again. He's always got about 8 irons in the fire. I'll ask him what's going on tomorrow..............
 
Tell ol boy I'll come and get it once we get it all worked out he can keep the trailer.Too small anyway.I'm looking for cheep as it's gonna take some doe to make it a respectable mate again.Hmm.Thinking black gunmetel flake and red stripes.Sound familar.lol
