Re: My favorite tiger
 

Thats sad, whats the story on the fire? arson or mechanical?

Re: My favorite tiger
 

That beautiful Tiger burned?
Holy Hell!

Re: My favorite tiger
 

I remember that boat, new ,sitting at Phillys .Very nice!

Re: My favorite tiger
 

We stopped at Phils to see if he had any Top Guns for sale and he told me about a customer that had one for sale that had just bought a Tiger from him. He lived in Monroe Michigan which is about 4 hour from my home. I called him that evening from Ft Lauderdale airport and the next day I went to see it. After looking at it he went over a couple spots in the barn and took the cover off his new boat that was in a rack and it was that Tiger. It was really was beautiful. I saw it again when he ran it in Smoke On The Water P/R.
The T/G in the attachment is the one I looked at. I loved the boat and it needed power, I thought he said he put the motors from the T/G in the Tiger but not sure now. The drives were still in the crates from TNT, new aluminum trailer and it needed some fixing up but exactly what I was looking for. I was working on putting some figures together of what I was going to spend on it and when I called to tell him I was going to take it Phil had sold it the day before. It went somewhere out west I think Phil. It's still on his web site as being sold.
You know the saying, When you snooze you loose.

It was definately arson.......through the grape vine I heard it was some homeless guy hi on drugs and alcohol. I asked Cecil (the owner of the boat) about it and he was not trying to hear anything about the boat.

The issue now is who's going to pay for it. At the time the boat was in a boat yard and they initially offered to cover it untill the found out the value of the boat. Not sure where there are at now.

It was raining today so I couldn't get to take any pics of the boat...I'll try tomorrow.

Re: My favorite tiger

Re: My favorite tiger
 

I think I know the owner. Is Cecil's last name Penn?

Re: My favorite tiger
 

Yes that's him. I still don't think he's gone back to the boat yard since the fire. Can't say that I blame him :( :mad: :(

Re: My favorite tiger
 

I have to say those photos of the burn-up are worse than looking at some of the sick freaky chit that ratman was posting in the uncensored section :( :( :(

Re: My favorite tiger
 

I am at a loss for words :eek: :eek: :eek: :( :( :(

Re: My favorite tiger
 

:eek: :( :mad:

Re: My favorite tiger
 

That $uck$ !!

Re: My favorite tiger
 

Man that sucks, Phil is a good friend and to see his old ride like that just sucks. He bought that boat from Philly and it was all white at the time. They came up with all the patriotic graphics and designs. It was (in my opinion) the best looking american flag boat i have seen. Sad to see.

Re: My favorite tiger
 

that sucks, its my fav tiger by far... i was also late on that boat, when i called phil it was already gone.....

Re: My favorite tiger
 

I would have f-cking killed the bum who burned it.

Re: My favorite tiger
 

That's horrible! :( :(

I sure would like to buy that swim platform from the owner if is able to get it!! :cool:

Re: My favorite tiger
 

Dont Want To Pri On Someone Elses Loss Like That But How Are Those # 6's..

Re: My favorite tiger
 

you guys are bad...

Re: My favorite tiger
 

The Drives and most of the engines are ok....Cecil has not made any decision on what he wants to do yet. He's still very upset about the boat....wich is understandable.

BTW...hey did go to "deal" with the guy but fortuately or not his family stopped him before he could.

Re: My favorite tiger
 

if he looking to get rid of the drives im a buyer..

Re: My favorite tiger
 

That is utterly a shame... choked me up, especially after watching the video. I have to say, that is not Caribbean Boating. That is Heaven Boating.

Re: My favorite tiger
 

What a sin!

Re: My favorite tiger
 

Comanche, How is the Spirit doing????

Re: My favorite tiger
 

Hello Mike
Everything is fine, built a new hatch and I am doing some other upgrades. If you can throttle back enough in that 42X we can ride side by side.
Hope to see you soon
Ed

Re: My favorite tiger
 

Hatch looks awesome. Is that the old one modified or a completely new one?

Re: My favorite tiger

Re: My favorite tiger
 

Thanks for the compliments, I will post a picture of it with more info in the Apache Owner's forum. I don't want to hijack this very interesting thread.
