    Ex-race boat that has damage. I've read that it is not repairable. Anyone looking at this boat should be aware that the seller Chris Vitolo is a firm believer in "buyer be ware" and will tell you what you want to hear. I bought the exhaust off this boat from him. He told me they where in great condition, and low hrs. Turns out they are damaged beyond repair!

    He had this boat it for sale on scream & fly but pulled the add when people recognized it and told it's true condition. Now he has it for sale in Rhode Island craig's list.

    Don't trust this guy!

    At least he's it has damage so it would be up to the buyer to figure the rest out IMHO.

    Pretty sure that boat was run a long time ago and won a lot of races. I haven't seen the boat in years.. Pretty sure they are balsa cored boats if not mistaken.

    .
    Agreed, but my experience with him is that he will B.S. you. That's what he did with me and I don't want him to do it to someone else.

    Just want anyone looking into this boat to know that it is probably not repairable and not to take the sellers word that it is.
