What Flat Decks are for sale now

[MattBMiller]

Looking for a 35, 36 or possibly 38 flat deck. Prefer to stay away from TRS drives. Looking for somewhat of a project. I really like the white one for same on OSO in MD with 540's and #3's.

[RebarBox]

Courious, why a flat deck in lieu of Cafe or Gun?

[Seafordguy]

It has TRS's but I know several people have said it is a really nice boat - I have no personal knowledge, just remember reading about it.

That's Harvey's boat.
Nice boat and he is looking to move it.

Love the lines of the flat decks. Not opposed to a Cafe though! I'm looking at those too, but I'd liek to do a restoration similar to the silver one posted a few days ago.

Beautiful boat! Unfortunately my boat doesn't seem to be selling just yet and can't swing two of them. Just putting my feelers out for what's out there at this point. If you still have it when my boat sells, I'll be calling you.

Beautiful boat as well, but would prefer #3's and a fairing.

[Hollowpoint]

The boat Seafordguy mentioned is a 35' Mistress. I think he goes by wild thang on this site. The motors are no longer strong running 540's. He put those engines in another Cig and I think he has 502EFI's in there now. You really need to ask him for the latest particulars on the boat. I also think he's asking MUCH less than the original 45K.

The boat is clean, sweet and turn key last time I saw it about a year ago. Attached is a pic from a 2007 poker run. Well worth a serious look.

Thanks Matt ... Labor of love (and sweat!) Don't worry I'll be here not in any rush to sell right now, cuz its running strong but to the right person I'd let it go I bought her from a guy up in Michigan, South Haven, 5yrs ago ... Call me even if just to chat .. later Chris 732-300-5222

Nice Mistress..I sold mine last year to guy in Florida..
With all the crap the Chicago group made about the boat,the guy still calls me every now and then how nice the boat is and how much he enjoys it..
They are great boats,although I'm going to move up to a 38 Flatdeck
Best mine did was 71 with bumped 502's...

Be careful what you wish for. As the king of DIY restos, I can tell you it's a greta way to make a big pile of money into a small pile of money. I've never done one that wasn't worth about half of what I spent on it. But that's what I like so it's worth it.

Chris' 35 with 3's on it is a really nice boat.

That's very cool. I like the classic teak dash and windshield- it doesn't scream "race" but it appeals like a '66 corvette convertible. Cool & stylish.

On the TRS, you can buy good used one's cheap and toss them when they break. And there's still tons of them out there. 3 drives are getting scarce and the parts are ten times what TRS stuff costs. I personally wouldn't be afraid of a TRS boat. Unless I wanted to run 800 HP

What was the name of that boat Chris? Wasn't it "Dirty Laundry" or something like that? Guy owned a bunch of coin-op laundramats...I looked at it years ago before I bought my Fountain.

[Quinlan]

On the bright side just because SOMEBODY buys a newer one doesn't mean he wont have to drop some SERIOUS coin!! Dont ask me how I know.
But you cant beat the big red 1 on the side.

Save yourself the headache....No project...Come and get her.

[stormrider]

There is a 38 flat deck in Mass.
IIRC, it used to be owned by TomFTM.

yup redhot that was the name when I bought it, although if you asked me before your post I would have had NO CLUE! LOL And yes I did break the rule and curse ... and renamed it. Outnumbered

Quick question : Curious, why didn't ya buy it???
