nice shape for being a 120 years old!:evilb:

There was a thread on it somewhere a few months ago. I don't remember anyone saying it sank - just that it was neglected.

It looks like it was just left uncovered for a few years....

Not sure but I would buy it and fix it up. Offer them 40..

I was the one that posted the original thread.

Someone explained on that thread that the person that bought it from the Dr. got a divorce, the wife go the boat and let it rot (or something along those lines)....I like what McManus did to id too. Little TLC that thing could be sweet again!

women..... if we all get together and sell our women, rome would be ours again.... think of it......

The boat was just neglected- and by that, it just sat uncovered for a number of months. The wife (or ex-gf, I'm not sure exactly) was the one who got the shaft (no pun). she had co-signed the note and the owner was just full of hot air in a lot of ways. I believe it started with a blown tranny and he didnt have the $$$ to fix it, so he just let it sit while her father made the payments. Sad story, but the boat was really nice when it ran with us on FMO runs. I can't imagine there being all that much really wrong with it.

if I could upload some pix, I would. :mad:

Great idea if you could find a buyer...

if reggie fountain can sell those sh it boxes, we can sell our women..... better yet, have reggie throw one in with each purchase.... im good baby....:evilb::evilb:

What drives are thoses 3,3A's or 5's?

Thanks.

Chris

They look like small-shaft 3's. Not a's, definitely not 5's.

Vinyl is cheap- if the survey came back clean, that boat could be a steal in the mid/high 40's

I hate to tell you , but that boat is freakin awsome.
Seen it myself and these are # 3 A bigshafts.
The boat runs very awsome and i quess the person who has it now forgot to clean it.
Realy good boat.
ZERO CAVITY ,costum interior. Best of the best.:D

i checked on it a few months back. it still needs a transmission, the trailer is in bad shape and it will take close to the asking price to buy it. by the time someone gets her back to good condition they will be "out of the money".

Someone throw a shoe a Stecz. He's having his wet dream again of finally coming out of the closet to find an all male society.

:drink::drink:

guys....know the boat well....it has 3A's on it, rerig with some f'ed up surface drive package that almost roted the transom out. Also had an arch on it at one time......McMan got it back and tore it apart and fixed it......the boat had a ton of money sunk into it many many times, but it never was taken care of and has gone to hell in the last few years.....

That was the dreaded "Pulse Drive" experiment. That Cigarette has probably had more money spent on it than any other I can think of besides a new one.

What's Dr. Santiago up to these days. I always liked him. :drink:

maybe this i what dreamer bought :)

LMAO!!!!:ernaehrung004::evilb:

Hey Shorgasm don't you think its time to call me?

What would a 88 in perfect condition go for anyways? I like a boat with a little history but at $60k seems theres no room for dropping the req'd cash into it and still coming out ahead.

Anyone know of TGs needing power or glass work? Lake Cumberland has a great mid-'90s but its sit down with no cabin.

if it is the superman boat you are talking about it has a cabin but the cabin needs a compete make over.

What happened to Pink Flamingo??

Did it ever get fixed?

What's the asking price on the Superman boat? And what's the Pink Flamingo?

The one I was originally liking was this one:

Just can't see myself in another sit-down no cabin boat...unless it was a cat! :cool-smiley-011:

I saw that boat run in the SCOPE poker run before they tore it apart. Ran good and looked great. It was getting a lot of attention at the dock. Cool boat, foot pedal throttle!

Last I heard the Pink Flamingo sold and the plan was to get it fixed. Haven't heard about it since.

Ok big talker its time to PONY UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
