Found this great site while looking for info on outboards so i decided to have a go! Always wanted a boat so when i saw a old Barrcudda 5.5 m fiberglass boat which had been left for years under a tree i brought it. Mold & mildrew full of leaves etc took it home all excited gave it a good clean & scrub took it to the local marine mechanic
He told me great boat but the hulls were badly put together, $4500 later all excitement gone but he tells its better than new? anybody no much about these boats everyone tells me the same thing great ride high sides etc but poorly put together, Still have to get it painted & outboard yet

Cheers Guys ( would love to hear from someone about these boats )
