Anyone on here know anything about prolines?

Found this proline on CL.  might be an interesting project for the right price.

I talked to the owner it turns out its a mid to late 80's hull that had... drum roll please...  a sea drive on it.  His plan was to install a bracket mounted outboard.  Would make a nice rig.   The T-top looks nice.   Not sure if it's worth the asking price or not.  I guess it depends on how good the hull is.

looks like the t top and trailer are worth the asking price,this guy is trying to get back the money he spent upgrading,doesn't always work that way,would make a nice rig with a bracket,allready has a full transom,if its sound may also need a fuel tank and so on.....

Oh I wasn't planning on keeping it.   Too much $$$ to hang a motor on it and flip it unless the hull is REALLY nice.  My girlfriends father has a 17' version of the same boat he took in as a trade.  Overall it's huge for a 17' boat and it's seems pretty solid.  I think Proline just sawed three feet off the 20' hull to make the 17 footer    LOL

Went to look at the Proline today just for grins.  Nice T-top, custom dive ladder and leaning post.  I was surprised to see the hull had very little dead rise.  Almost a flat back.  The transom was bowed almost a 1/2"  and there was braces on the transom running to the floor to offset the weight of the over sized OMC sea drive that was on it.  The floors were rock solid.  Would need the transom repaired and a bracket installed on it to make it into a sweet boat.  But not by me!
