1988 Thompson 240 Fishermen Hard Top
This boat needs a transom, I have taken the transom apart and it's ready for new wood and fiberglass. I also removed the wood floor up to the hard top and it's ready for new wood. Mercruiser 5.0 that runs excellent, good outdrive, interior is in very nice condition. Engine, Outdrive and interior are removed for wood and fiberglass replacement. I will have the repairs done in the boat if someone doesn't purchase it before June 1st. as is. I have no trailer for the boat and all electronics, downriggers and rod holders will be removed unless purchased by buyer. $3000.00 B/O Wayne 412-603-0070
After repairs are complete and boat is back together I will have it for sale for $10,000.00 no trailer or $12,500.00 on a used trailer. If you are handy you can buy now, do the repairs and you will have a great fishing boat.
