Thinking about buying an impounded '83 Supra Rider

[stephen.south]

I'd probably be able to get this boat for a few hundred dollars at the upcoming impound auction. Think it's worth it?









IT does have a fist size hole in the hull at the center point in the front curve. Engine needs a ring gear, but it runs. Nees some new wiring.

What do yall think? too much hassle for the deal?

Whole boat needs to be gutted, inside and out. Completely.

If you aren't prepared to do a serious overhaul and spend at least $5,000, then walk away.

It's a great looking boat, but it definitely needs some dedication.

Totally agree! Run, do not walk...unless you have deep pockets. The best part of this boat is the trailer it sits on. The transom is rotten as the deck is about to fall off. Can't imagine the floors and stringers are in any better shape to be safe on the water.
What part of GA is it in? Just looking at the registration.

Buy it and part it out. The trailer is worth 1k alone.

funny that the gel is so shiny. the insides are a mess like these guys said. transom is totally jacked. don't want to imagine how they messed it up so bad.

great project candidate. if you want a boat to use this summer, this ain't it.

rickey's right...trailer is very nice. if the engine runs & tranny works that's some good money too.

what is the hose/cable in this pic that's running to the spotter seat?

ss tow bar...never seen one before.

Looks to be a fuel primer? I have no clue why they had it rigged like this. That boat is a piece for sure

Nothing worse than a neglected boat... I think there are some on the bottom of the lake which need much less work. Is it me or is the coil wire a tad short..... As bad as it is there is some value still there. Anything less than 1k and you can make some coin.
