Re: 1985 Guardian 17 Rebuild from Bare Hull

I went to the tag office today and got a history on the boat. Its first time being registered in Florida was 1998 by Florida Department of Transportation. The HIN that they had on file is the same one that I have so I'm not sure why it's different than the normal convention. I'm making a huge assump...

1985 Guardian 17 Rebuild from Bare Hull

I know there are a lot of purists on the board. I am not one of them. This [1985 GUARDIAN 17] will be left in the Bahamas, so I’m not worried about perfect. It’s replacing a boat that was damaged during Dorian. I picked up a console from an IMPACT. 2a.jpg I’m probably going to do a light scuff and a...

Re: Appraisal: 1985 Guardian 17

Based in Florida.

I have a trailer for it but it is pretty rough. I know pictures would help but those are a few days away since I need to clean the dang thing. I hit it with a pressure washer last night and got some of the big stuff off, now it's on to the actual scrubbing.

Appraisal: 1985 Guardian 17

[I j]ust picked up a 17 GUARDIAN hull that appears overall in good condition and has no major holes or drilling. I’d like to think I got a decent deal.

After my wife saw it, she said it was too small and wants larger boat.

What’s the going price for a 1985 GUARDIAN hull?
