    1983 18' Bullet

    There's a project boat near me that I'm somewhat interested in. You don't see many project Bullets so I'm intrigued. It should fit in my garage, so that's a plus.

    Does anyone know what these boats were like? Did they ride and handle well? Did they have the famous Bullet speed, relatively speaking? Any known issues with that particular model? It has a 150 Johnson and a jack plate, no mention of the size.

    Either a 17’ or 19’. 800lb hull give or take when new, not so great ride but definitely a blast to drive. Do you have pics of it? Go into it planning to put new stringers, core and transom in it being that old. May be solid but there’s only a few solid ones left.

    No photos, other than the two on Craigslist. It's about 1.5 hours away and I'll be driving through there Thursday or Friday. 800 pounds with a 150 would be fun. I'll try to contact them tomorrow night.

    When I was a kid my dad had an 84 19' with a 150. That thing would run 72 ready to fish!

    Is it blue and white? If it’s the boat I think it is, it’s way overpriced
