By the way, if anyone is looking for a #6 gun I don’t think you’ll find a better deal than lock and load. Thing is sooooo bad azz. Give Lipship a call. We were an inch away from writing the check but my wife just couldn’t do the no rear bench and fiberglass engine hatch (no layout area). She’s a bad mo fo though.

I don’t see it listed on OSO anymore. The ask was like $129k on Lock and Load right?

Phil still has it. Boat’s in Cumberland though. But yes, it’s still for sale asking 129.

Tank,

You gotta have the babe mount, right? Your wife gets it. :ernaehrung004:

Thanks. Brad.

That guy about hit me at LOTO a few years back, he apologized later over drinks......:drink:.didnt the owner pass ??

lol

happy wife….i mean we do have a 10 and a 15 y/o. L/L isn’t exactly a family boat. Lol

yes. The gentleman that did all the work passed. It was owned by one of Phil’s good customers after that who buttoned up a few things making it basically perfect but never ran it lol. Then Phil took it in on trade. It’s ready to rock. Doesn’t need a thing from what I know. Sitting on a nice myco too.

Its a cool hot rod, I went all over it @ PBC..........I got a thing for staggered boats.gonna miss ya this year Bud and the crew guess Kelly gonna need to find a new fender beach......:lolhit:

Seems like a boat that clean should bring more than what they are asking but I suppose with the small cockpit from the staggered setup it may make it a harder sell. That boat looks so nicely done. Mine is a giant pile of crap in comparison.

We're bummed we're not going to make it. We'll be there next year for sure. I have a work class I have to be at for two weeks right then and the wife is fighting some medical issues. Next year, it's go time though!!

Well, you take a) straight bottom boat = small buyer market, b) big power and 6's = even smaller buyer market c) stagger, smaller cockpit = even smaller buyer market. These boats take a special buyer. Before we bought RWTD I'd gues there was maybe 5 people in the country (and that's being generous) that were actually interested in buying it. Not to mention (as you are painfully aware of) the purchase price is just the admission ticket. The real spending comes once you own it. LOL Not a lot of people down for that.

You told me that and I thought man this thing will never sell or take forever , theres only 5 people in the coutry that would want a Top gun .. Flat Deck has to be even less . I was making plans to leave at Performance after the Randevous..

I put the boat up for sale and 2 real buyers, full asking price and 8 hrs later the boat is sold.
lol

Count your blessings, you found the 1 buyer in the country that had to have a flat deck #6 boat. LOL. Just sayin. I know of 4 #6 guns that had been for sale for over a year. 3 are still for sale.

This boat also used to be super clean, well at least it was when I saw it in Key west a couple years ago. The owners of lock and load and this boat were good friends and I sold them a pair of 6's on extension boxes that I had.

That was a great thread watching them work on L&L and Zero Patience. They seemed to have a lot of fun doing both boats. That thing still looks super nice. Been for sale for a long time. I think the color(s) are the hold up there. Killer set up with the chiefs and dry 6's.

I would be content selling my boat and buying L&L... I really like that boat, tastefully done. Such a good boat for up here in Erie.

And way cheaper than converting my boat to 6s. Maybe I'll ask Phil what a trade plus $ looks like.....

pretty sure Phil won’t take a trade on it. But that would be awesome if you ended up with it. You and Tim could run em together. :cool:

although your boat is insanely nice. Overall nicer I’d say than L&L.

there were actually 2, one just put down a deposit faster .

I’m glad you had a seamless sale brother. It worked out awesome. After watching 4 #6 guns sit for sale for well over a year for not too much more I guess I’m a little pessimistic about the ease of selling these boats and believe the buyer pool is very shallow. But whatever, I’ll keep ours until I die if need be. It’s all good. I did hear zero patience just recently sold too finally.

On a related note, we’re heading to havasu today and go run the boat and bring it back to Cali for the summer.

Well after 2 weeks of work, I fired the starboard motor off in the boat for the first time in 6 years. Should have the port engine fired off tomorrow if all goes as planned (it never does). From there it's all about the punch list and tuning the Holley EFI before I get to really have fun with this. Either way, this is far more progress than has been made in 4 years.

Well I'll be damned, it still floats. Took it out for about an hour just going easy on it and doing a little tuning. I need to add second idle air control valves to each motor as it just doesn't move enough air to compensate for the large props on the shift, but I'll get that handled soon. Otherwise, it ran pretty well. I need to do some datalogging to make sure expected AFR and actual AFR are matching up as well as make sure my fuel system is keeping up before I really start to lean on it. It's going to be a process, but hopefully slow and steady keeps me from hurting another motor.

congrats Matt! good to see it out again!

I'm glad I could inspire you! Great to see it floating on the lake again.
