We found this little Boler a few weeks ago in a state of neglect and bought it with the intention of restoring it to its former glory. But I am currently building a teardrop and it will be awhile before I am ready for another project. It would be a great restoration project for someone. Take a look at the listing http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280756254699#v4-40

Thanks,
Becky

Luckily for my bank account, you're too far away...it looks very tempting. Especially since you've done most of the yucky part! Good luck!

Becky,
I didn't see a buy it now price. How much and can you store it a month or so?? I would like to build a boler/scamp with a full bed and didn't want to dismantel the one I have. Is the floor solid? How bad is the door gap at the bottom?

Hi Ron,
I didn't put a buy it now, the starting bid is what we need to get to recover what we have in it. From there we're just going to let it go where the market takes it. There is no reserve. I hate that when people start something for $1.00 and have a $5000 reserve on it.

The floor absolutely needs to be replaced. But it's a 40 year old trailer that was sitting neglected in a junk yard for God knows how long so I can't even imagine not taking apart down to the frame before spending the money and time to put it back together.

The door gap isn't bad. It's a little off, but my understanding is that is common with these guys. I guess things come out of true over the years. It does open and close and latch now.

As far as storage goes, I will PM you.

Thanks for your interest.

Becky
