With 750 Lingies and #3's and only being worth 57K.....That pink boat must only be worth about 40K or so!!!!

:D :evilb: :p :evilb: :drink: :evilb:

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

That boat had a deposit the day after it hit the OSO classifieds. The boat had been advertised on a exotic car website without success :rolleyes: . Apparently the owners now realize they sold it too cheap because of all the calls they have been getting.....Can't wait for my buddy to get it here!!! :drink: :D

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

I guess that a price reduction should be in order. Kinda sad to see her value go low in the face of this economy. She is still a rock, solid boat that knows how to run.

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

ROTFLMAO!!!!!! :):):)

Not sure where he got his info, but that boat is still around and I did the interior in it, and it was never for sale for 57K.

And at about 3200 RPM I'm running 60 in my TG.

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

I looked at that boat in Key Biscayne through a broker. As LS Jr said, they were asking $69k for it. After inspecting the boat and talking to the mechanic, I offered them $50k. The broker came back and said $57k will buy it. Later, the boat was re-done by Midwest Powerboats.

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Sorry, had to re-read the original post, I thought the mention that Midwest had one for sale for 57K. Wondering why you didn't by it at that price then??????

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Hugh...My deal still stands. I just spent 12k yesterday on new CMI's

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

that's pocket change in this sport

mike

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

or you could look at it as...
12000 for a 2 pair of cmi's.
or
70000 for a 1991 cabon top gun.

one seems like a better value.

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

It is the way you guys play the sport :D

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Steve

I am still considering your offer. I would like to work with 100% cash as I feel a deal would be better suited. f I have no serious offers soon, we'll be talkin'!

Hugh

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Gotcha bro.

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Hugh, bring Philly's old race boat back to Cali and back to running in the rough stuff where it belongs!! :drink: :drink:

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Where's this boat? I didn't see it.

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

What did your buddy get it for in the end? I looked at the last TG that dealer had and liked it but he sat on it for a whole season (it was a 2000 straight bottom boat). www.premiercars.com had this boat on ebay and never got an opening bid at 89K, had it on website for 119 then reduced to 109K. I emailed Chris and told him OSO would sell that boat especially since Lip Ship re-did it.

Tank

That's the idea! F2-1 is ready to rock and belongs back here on the West coast. I just have to come to terms with the "terms". Capicshe?

Hugh

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

I am actually considering buying a Gun and boating more in the Pacific again. I really didn't make it to Havasu that much last year (4 times) and hard to justify that cost of the home out there when not really using it.

I might start looking for a wave crushing TopGun next year sometime.

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Oh, I hear ya. Steve and Bobby almost had me into the Pink Flamingo for trade on the Baja. I just couldn't get it together to make it happen.

I'd like to see you in the F2-1 bro! That would be sweet! :cool: Get it in time for the Channel Islands/Santa Barbara Dec. Toys for Tots run!! ;)

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

That's what I'm talkin' about G....Step up bro! :drink:

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

This one catches my "eye". The first Cigarette I ever saw was down the Jersey shore about 20 years ago and it had a paint job similiar (or maybe exactly) like this one.

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Stil to thsi day, This has to be my FAVORITE cig. Classic, timeless, and Bad ars

Jr,

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Yep, gotta agree. VonBongo's boat is the shizzle! With all the new bling and the classic 90mph paint, that boat should already be sold IMO.

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Hugh
We are taking the F2-1 to NJ. For the poker run 8-5-2006. Meet us there and I'll take you on the run. One day in Lucky Strike & you will take her home she is much different than anyother Top Gun.

Steve

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Wheres the run out of NJ, Just might have to go and check out the machinery

BUY IT!!!!! :cool:

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

If it's the 2000 that they had listed with the blue and yellow paint, matching trailer, half cabin. I made him an offer and he said he would just use it for the season. Sounds like he got to do just that.

Thanks for the complimets on my boat. She's a beauty. I get a lot of " a 97??? You must be kidding, it looks new" about as close as you can get with used boat!

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Von,

I really cant believe your boat hasnt sold yet at that price, it so nice and the engines look great, good luck.

I will be down next weekend if you want to go running around

Wild

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Hugh,
No disrespect meant towards your boat, I was just trying to prove a point and (because of the PM's and phone calls that I received :D ) I'm pretty sure that everyone got it.

Good luck selling her. :)


Craig

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

I know here in the north east the poor economy has just hit us pretty hard in last last 6 months.
On the upper Chesapeake bay where we boat every weekend ,it's been pretty much a ghost town this summer compared to previous seasons, I mean 50% less go fast boats.
Unless you want to give her away I don't see a whole lot of action here in PA and MD on 100k+ rigs.
That boat in my op pinion is a deal at that price, I see whats out there regardless of the year.
I'm in the same position, I have a ton of $ in my complete re -rigged low hr 97 Kevlar and after two months of 100k offers decided to keep and enjoy her rather than give her away.
.Because after the fire sale, when you go to replace a boat in that condition, they don't seem to exist anymore.
Good Luck!

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Wish I could, going to get married! Probably wont be down until the shootout :(

Feel the same about your boat, lots of nice boats available

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

good luck with your marriage ...i hope she like boating ...you boat is a beauty ..that paint job is one of my fav

mike

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Between this announcement, and your boat for sale, I gotta believe you've lost your mind......... :rolleyes: :cool:

I hope the boat sale is only to get a bigger, badder one that will hold her girlfriends for some variety for you..... :drink: :evilb:

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

I'd put my money on... "its just the beginning." :eek:

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Naw, the two aren't related, in fact she says I am nuts...I just may be :evilb:

Bigger, no...Badder..depends on how you look at it. :D only time would tell.

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Congratulations Mike! Hopefully, we'll have to celebrate shootout weekend.

Re: Can't believe this Gun isn't gone
 

Give me a call when you get a chance. I am looking for a Gladiator but keep looking back at your Gun. So I guess I should get all the info on your rig before I make a (wrong)decision on a boat.

Thanks
