Reeking Havoc, Maybe the idiot part is out of line but I am not the only person on this site that has gone threw this as I have had 2 people here PM me today with the same issues that I am going through here and total agree with what I have said but do not wish to get involved as they were and will be hit with the same crap.I have also tried to get a 33 cover for my boat and have been outbid ever time but I was able to get the cheaper white cover. As far as self promotion that is part of the business. I came on here originally just to stop the BS about Speed4UO and it snowballed as it always does.This will be the last time I address this issue and jonyb good luck in finding a cover.

jonyb, looks like they have a shipping cover listed right now. Would be great for keeping the dust off! Maybe throw a bid of $10,000 in to make sure you get it!

May I ask why you are selling your boat? Is there a 30 Outlaw in the future maybe?

That's the exact cover that I've been bidding on, and losing. Just selling the boat for a debt reduction right now. Truck is for sale too. I'd like to pick up something a few years older with bigger power for the future. Mine's great and dependable but for the money, I'd rather have something else.

i will say for the record i've dealt with Speed4UO on a couple of auctions i've won a while ago and have nothing but good things to say about them. got some good deals and fast shipping i guess to many baja people know about them now and the good deals have dried up. all i can do is try to snag one of the 33 covers i got really exicted when i saw they had a black one up for the first time even stopped in office in the middle of the day to bid until i saw what it was going for.

As far as my post about the site being shutdown it was because Marcy got accused of running up the bid. Ebay reinstated them and obviously BigDog didn't search correctly cause the same day he posted that I went and looked and they where still on with 25 items forsale. I also agree with haulinvols good luck selling your Baja parts for 40%.

I say do what you gotta do, If you can buy low and sell for a profit, then why not, if you enjoy it and can make money on it, It is no different than used car dealers buying from the auction and resaling for retail, mabye I see it this way because Im a bussiness owner, I build homes to sell to pay my bills and if I run across a foreclosure or something, I would snag it and flip it for a profit, but thats how I make a living. Mabye Im wrong though, Thats just my honest opinion, and theres no sense for anyone getting mad through a keyboard because its just that, If it wasnt a good deal, there will be one somewhere, just gotta be patient

All I have are pics from before and the motors ready to go in. Mike at Mcleod interiors is doing a 1 off custom interior with his newest bolsters and the boat name done on the engine hatch , I have XS hydraulic steering, all new gages with a custom dash that faces more upright than the stock cluster for better viewing, shifters, switches, sound system, totally rewiring the boat with a modern harness. When it is done will also consider a different paint scheme.
