[QUOTE="1960 yellowboat, post: 467033, member: 24593"] Been there, Done that I bought a 14 ft Richline Challenger semi-vee off Craigslist in Tampa. It was made in 1960 and other than rotten wood seats and transom was in good shape. It had sat behind the guy's shop for 20 years and was full of water. He wanted $200 for it and I was ready to buy it , BUT he had no title. He wanted to give me a bill of sale only but here in Florida, the FWC will NOT issue a title on that. So I told him that when he got the title, I would be back. 30 days later he called and said he had found the title. 31 days later the boat was mine. I found a 14 ft trailer for $75 from a neighbor and rebuilt it with new tires,wheels,hitch,winch,bearing buddies and bra's. Painted the trailer with aluminum paint and put new 8 ft vinyl covered bunks on it. Painted the boat yellow! Painted the gunnels and lapstrake to match the engine, a 1955 Evinrude 15 HP which I got also for $200 off CL.[ATTACH type="full" alt="GEDC0722.JPG"]102276._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="GEDC0722.JPG"]2[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
