1978 19’ BR on eBay - Project or Parts?

[Titaniumboy]

Here is a 1978 19’ bow rider on eBay. Very few pictures and apparently at a boat liquidator in Wisconsin. They claim to have the title.

Interestingly, Cobalt has brochures for the 1977 and 1979 model years, but none for 1978.

So is this a Project Boat or just a Parts Boat?

Project, not sure how much demand their is 78 parts. Need to see the stern S/N. As you know mechanical things can be replaced with time/dollars. My concern is a failed (soft) deck, engine mount, unseen (transom) hull cracks, etc. ... "some deterioration"

But it’s only $1.99

Probably needs several hundreds of dollars just for new tires to haul it home.

How true, My (new to me) boat had original bias-ply tires and two of the 4 tires blew-out on RT95 (opposite sites) as I was towing it home. Did 60 miles doing 35-40 in the breakdown lane on two tires. Oh I remember that. No Cops.

Winning bid ended up being $1.99

Can you imagine the gas cost to retrieve that beast from Wisconsin back to California?
