Interesting points! I'm wondering if they kept the platform on the CCC to use as a step down. Was one of the previous owners on this site? Any links to the discussion? I didn't find it.
Ray,Awesome stuff man, Def post pictures! I saw this on ebay as well, and thought "what a great fishing platform". I saw the thing was laying in a field for a while, what's the story behind it?-Fletch
Cool boat Ray. I'll bet you a tall, frosty PBR that you're gonna be lovin' this boat.
Remember the CCC keeps the liner from the FF without the dash/control panel in the front and no windshield. The port on the sides of most FFs was an option that most had fitted when they were made. The same option was available on the CCC. $175 is an amazing price for this boat, and you can use parts off a FF for replacements except the console - which is a CCP item. Check the transom and deck for soft spots, do some cleanup and TLC, put a 200/225/250 on her, and you will have a great big-water boat!
SO, from what I gather, these boats are A LOT easier to restore than a Mako. If it's the original tank, it's most likely shot. The floor is most likely soft, the stringers are soaked, and the transom is worm food. But, besides that, SHIP SHAPE!!! It's fishing machine, and if you can look past the rough, she's going to be sweet.
I already love the boat, so I owe you one!
Hey guys,Thanks for the descriptions on the liner. I fully understand now. I've always called that the cap, but the cap could just refer to the top part and not the deck. I learned something new. I have some bad news! The lady that sold me the boat said that she gave it away to her father's friend. I'm very disappointed. I knew there was a catch! She must have realized that it was worth more than $175.00.I'm not sure if she can legally do that, since I already paid for it. She refunded my money through PayPal, but I'd rather have the boat. Does anyone know if she had the right to resell the boat?

Welcome to the dark side Found out the hard way that the Golden Rule isn't the first rule when buying boats.Since the boat was never titled to you...legally, you have no recourse.But no worries...we'll find you one
