Shano i reckon you should contact randall and fitzy, (they were starting a give to a kid fund type of thing, rods, reels etc), jack scored a pota bote, and give it away to a kid that needs a boat, will make you feel better in the long run. Think about it, its all in the aid of teaching a youngster the future of fishing. There are some kids out there without a dad that like fishing, and mum cant afford to help too much, just a thought.
cheers

Hi All
Maybe if shano cant afford to give it away, the members from ausfish could give a small amount of money towards a fair purchase price of the boat and then it could be donated
If some one wants to set some thing up
I will make a pledge of $10
cheers

i feel what you are saying jaybe i really do but the thing is mate i to have 2 young daughters aged 2.5 and 15 months old. this money is adversly going straight to them . i am not made of money by no means and the tanks that i am selling the money for that if you would really be interested in knowing if going towards our wedding which is growing very much closer quiet quickly. so this is the reason why i am wanting to know a price! just think about it this way buy my boat and it will help my own kids to fish !!!!!

Shano,
To cut to the chase.
Don't repaint. Cut (no pun intended) #::) & polish with the correct cutting compound & it should come up a treat. Far easier 'cos paint doesn't really stick to plastic.
Webby is the man to see for a good C&P. ;) ;) ;)

[shano]

hey thats not such a bad idea there peter thanks for the advise mate!

Shane I would think that to run that in the trading post for about $500 if it is good nic would not be out of the question.
The add should mention: size,poly,strong,unsinkable,suit small outboard.
Poly tenders are from around 850 new. (smaller)
It will suit someone with a big boat looking for a tender for sure and I could have sold it for you no worries a couple of weeks ago.
If you sand it back with some 120grit paper to help the paint stik it will look heaps better and you will get more for it. Just a brush job of shiny enamle will produce a good enough finish.
Getting it in the spotlight where people can see it will get the most dollar.
If you have a wedding to pay for you will need as much as you can get.
Wish you the best of luck Kev.
