i heard it wash thrashed.... and merc 900 are real expensive to maintain... i heard 50hrs to freshen the top end

you have nothing good to say, you're mean....

Yes, the top end has to be freshened every 50 hours, and a complete rebuild every 100. This was just done, but like I said I plan on selling the engines anyway.

What would you all guess insurance would be? $3K a yr?

What the hell are you thinking.......You know you want one with a windshield. Call me about this weekend, I can't get you to answer the phone.

Actually, the guy that owns this boat is selling both boats. He bought Tim's Tiger and flipped it. The new owner took it out a couple of times and decided it was just too much boat for him. It's for sale again. The owner of the Crayola boat has both boats right now for sale. Tims Tiger is PERFECT! Just re-done by Lip Ship in March/April with maaaaaaaybe 5 hours on it since.

It is a good idea to do the valves on these motors at 50 hrs. I don't neccessarliy know if they need to be rebuilt at 100 hrs though. The motors in the Crayola Tiger are stock Merc 900's. The motors in Tims old Tiger are totally rebuilt (by Teague) 1000's. Here's a couple of pics of Tims old Tiger.

However, the Crayola boat just had 45k worth of work on the engines by Joe Bacca at Precision Marine (works on the Mrs. Sonice Outterlimits). Also, (not that I mind the paint scheme) the boat looks 100 times better sitting in the water. Totally different boat when it's wet.

Cignificant.....check your PM.

Anyone seriously interested in either of these boats...PM or call me. I just got off the phone with the owner and I have personal knowledge of the history of both these Tigers. They are both great boats with out issues and can be had at right prices.

Crayola = El Tanko ....you need that boat bro !!!

For the price we've been told it can't be beat-

When people call and don't leave a message, then I assume it's BS and I don't need to call them!

Nah, I like my boat. It fits my needs to a T. Now you on the other hand could keep your cat for the lake and step into this Tiger for the ocean. PERFECT!!

Yes...or very close to that. My 98 is just a few hundred under your number.

I can't believe you can insure a 900+HP boat for under 3k. My 01 Donzi with 600's costs me about 4200/yr. I HATE BEING YOUNG!!! That is one of the main reasons I'm afraid to step up to the crayola boat. I have bid on it several times on Ebay, but I don't think I can insure it
