    My biz partner asked me if I would help him sell his boat, before he 'Busts Out Another Thousand' ;)

    So, here we are! I've been on 'Thunder Buddy' plenty of times, and it's always a good time. He purchased from an owner in CT, and I took a train down with him from Boston and we motored it back, that was August 22, 2o14.

    He currently has it located and docked in Chelsea, MA at the main marina there.

    $17,950.00 ask, or best reasonable offer.

    Thanks!

    Lovely 70s vintage cruiser. Does he still have the bow rail? It's kind of an expensive piece of hardware.

    I’ll ask and confirm. Doubt he’d throw something like that away.

    These are great boats. They seem to be very well build and loaded with options for the period. Most now seem to be repo we’re as well. This should move fast at that price, it looks like it’s in great shape. Perfect for someone looking to get into fishing.

    Yes. That’s fine. PM me, I’ll link you two up to set that up. He’s prepping to de winterize it, so it’s not in the water yet.

    (yes, I realize I said “docked” in the OG post, I assumed it was, but he hasn’t got it out yet this year.)

    Too bad you're on the wrong coast, I don't even want a boat and I'd be tempted to buy it if you were closer to me.

    Whoa...just seeing this, originally from Westport maybe?

    Eggs are very seaworthy/well built boats. Lot's of room for a 33x14 vessel. Weird the bow rails got pulled (maybe previous owner looking to get the 50+ sport fisher look?).

    If only we had decent water access....

    Hope this finds a new home!

    Thanks Bill. It was further up the coast than Westport. I don’t remember the town. All we had was a Miller light to christen it. Fitting tho that day. Heck I think gas was also in the 5’s back then :)
