Great you find me one for that I'll pick it up and resell it.For an 80's vintage i'd say around $15k if the transom and deck is solid.

There’s been a few 80’s 18’-20' double eagles that have been sitting on the market for months that are 20k or just under. But with that vintage condition will vary wildly, if it hasn't had a transom, floor or stringer repair done its only a matter of time.Great you find me one for that I'll pick it up and resell it.
Agree. Just the structural work for that boat is 15k at a shop. It's all about condition and power. 40 year old boat, old wiring and electronics, with a 15-20 year old engine isn't worth much. On the other hand a solid old DE with a +/- 5 year old engine, updated wiring and electronics and you've got a 30k boat.There’s been a few 80’s 18’-20' double eagles that have been sitting on the market for months that are 20k or just under.

Interesting... @Brando rate these welds, I'm not a welder so I can't offer much of an opinion but its pretty cheap for basically brand-new power that's for sure

haha I thought the same, like would that even be safe to run?Run and don’t look back
For how long? Probably leak like Swiss cheese and crack within the first few years or less.haha I thought the same, like would that even be safe to run?
that sucks specmar builds a really nice u build boat packageThat was built with an intermediate spool gun with like 30 percent duty cycle for sure.
They layout pieces is that what you mean?that sucks specmar builds a really nice u build boat package
I'm not a metal guy at all,so maybe some of the experts on here can clue me in to aluminum welding.I can see in the boat pictures the welds look sloppy,but is it possible to grind them out and redo them properly or is it a one shot deal to get them right?
You can tidy them up, redo them. It's not fun, not best practice and will never look as good as a proper job. Bottom line, people have way more fun piling on and poking fun though. He did build his own boat, and neither myself nor most others on here can say that they have achieved the same
prob just you tubed it lol like every other moron out there that think trades people charge too muchThat was built with an intermediate spool gun with like 30 percent duty cycle for sure.
yes the layout and how well it fits together. if built to the plan they are very niceThey layout pieces is that what you mean?
