Boat choice?

[ShamrockIV]

Hey guys!!
I am looking at 2 boats.
I am looking at a 79S&S and a 82 S&S. any thoughts which year might be more desirable($$$$) in the future?

thanks!!

I think you need a New X2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KnoxX2]

And don't tell me you can't afford it...........................
Remember I am active duty and have 4 kids also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sodar]

You selling?

[KnoxX2]

No
Wanted to get a new one but the wife likes ours because it's a one off.

Just Stiring the pot!!!!

[Sodar]

I think you need a new one.

[ShamrockIV]

No knox i am not selling my 205. this is a restore and resell maybe later kinda deal!!!

Plus i am not active duty(big money) just a lowly GS civil servant.

I don't think either of those is more desirable than the ther. I would just pick the one that could be brought up to snuff for the least money.

[Intruder]

do they have a round windshield or square

[ShamrockIV]

79 round
82 square

I agree. Check the stringers for rot since they are wood in anything older than 83 right?

I Have A 81 Blue On Blue Metalflake Ltd I Would Go With The 82 What Color Is It?

[ShamrockIV]

here is the 79

[ShamrockIV]

here is the 82!!

[stuartmcnair]

I vote for the 82...

[loeweb]

I'd go 82 as well. Just based on appearance which, in the grand scheme of things is not worth very much

[Sodar]

82 looks alot cleaner

[TMCNo1]

For some reason, the '82 makes me fell all warm and fuzzy inside, like it just has more "happy" left in it! Is that controversial enough!:rolleyes:

[sdesmond]

IMHO I think the windows look better on the 82 than the "Bubble window" on the 79.

[chudson]

"82" for sure but then I'm a little partial to the Blue on Blue!!!

[icewake]

79 all the way!!!!!! i miss our old one

[BrianM]

If the stringers are good on both go with the 82. The blue flake looks great.

[icewake]

if you decide to get one let me know, i will be more than willing to help you out with it

[captain planet]

That 82 looks sweet. I think the square windshield fits the boat better thant the rounded windshield of the 79. Just my 2 cents.

[flipper]

I like the 82 better

[oldriver]

82 no doubt about it

[Leroy]

Is there much difference in using them? I can't tell much difference from the pictures!

[Intruder]

82 looks like it still has the original interior i have the same boat when i redid my interior i found a 87 motorbox and replaced that BIG box that was in there gave me a little more room whats he asking 6500 would be a good buy

[ShamrockIV]

I can get the 82 for 5k.

A friend on mine is selling a '78 for under $5K. PM me if you're interested.
