18 MA Console

[louiepapp]

Hey guys, does anyone know where I can get a 18 Master Angler console? Looking to buy a 1998 18MA but someone put a giant tower on it... I'd like to get it back to the original look if I buy it.

 

Thanks in advance!

Were you looking at the 18 in FL, that has the tall tower and no console.  Ad states just don't have time for it.

Yes that’s exactly what I was looking at. Not sure if I’m up for the project though... it’s a 7 hour ride for me to go check it out and I’m not sure if it’s worth the rebuild. It’s hard to find an original console.

I'll never understand why someone would buy one of these and strip the console to drop a 2-3 thousand tower in it.  I think for any where between 8-10, you would be getting a nice hull providing when the put the tower in the sealed everything correctly.  The one I am looking at is 12 hours away from me up in Long Island.  It's going to be a complete restore if I can work the deal... https://longisland.craigslist.org/boa/d/1978-maverick-18-flats-boat/6282818405.html

I am pretty sure there are pictures of that 70's green boat sunk on a mooring ball.  He used to post on the forum.
