I may have a problem with REALLY liking boats that are difficult to care for...solid red ain't no bargain, but this one would be considerably worse!

Buy it ya cheap Pr!ck, and quit phuchin around :cool-smiley-027:

this boat came from wichita ks. he traded it for a donzi.
jasonsmith or ckentling on here may know more.

WHAT HE SAID!!!!!!

Relax you clowns! Remember, I'm not rich like you guys!

Sweet boat....who ever had it really liked splatter painting in the engine compartment eh? :D

Look on the bright side, when you're in party cove, you'll be able to cook your lunch on the deck!

For about $40K more you might be able to buy a TSTG that's been worked over during the winter to mint condition!

You selling AGAIN? Jeezus...are you trying to set some kind of record?

I think that black is sooooo bad....that thing would look great with a pirate flag flying...moreso than even this...

You would have really liked it w/ the skull then.

Did/do any of the TS's have a full cabin like the flat bottoms?

holy crap, whose is that, is that vincents shop

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet:cool-smiley-027:

OMG that is the baddest thing I have ever seen!

They have a full length cabin but not set up like the older ones with the enclosed head and setee. My understanding is for balance purposes it had to be scaled back to reduce weight up front.

If you get that, Michelle is gonna kick your a$$ every time she has to step on the deck!:angry-smiley-038:

At least the wheel and throttles should stay cool.
Black is bad azz..

You like your boats like I like my women.

HIGH MAINTENANCE !!!!!!!

why is there not more pics of that thing? Why did they take the wrap off? That is tight! What's it look like in the water?

WHY, did they change that???? :eek:

That looks KILLER, and is totally unique! I've never seen a Cigarette with that look. :cool:

saw that boat on their website a couple days ago. it looks KILLER!!!! i love!

That boat belongs up here in MI where it never gets too hot! I would need to get the skull though. I about wet myself seeing that.

I'm thinking the solid black would look good with the addition of the same graphic as my tatoo....

Blackbeard's flag.

I talked to Scott a couple of weeks ago and he said they had the whole boat repainted in the black that you see. Definately a kick ass look.

It was all paint. i know there are some pics of it on the water, just havent located them. Another one i found.

38' of flames, he's got a few air brushing hours in that, incredible!

I Saw The Boat When It Arrived At Shogren And I Did Not Like It I Think It Looked Very White Trashy I Have Seen It Since And The Black Is Perfect As A Certified Marine Survey I Have Not Had The Pleasure Of Surveying It Yet But It Is A Very Clean Boat I Believe It Was Repainted And The Cheap Flames Were Not A Wrap If I Could Convince My Wife And It Checked Out I Probably Would Buy It

I Could Convince My Wife

Those are words to live by.

Easier to pull the trigger and explain later:party-smiley-004:

Perhaps this is the reason you are not married? :grinser010:

:evilb:

I'm guessing that's why you haven't pulled the trigger yet..

:party-smiley-004:

Nope, guess again. If that was the case she would have left after the 3rd boat in 2 years:evilb:

The boat belonged to a good friend of mine, I can tell you what ever you would like to know about that boat. If you want more info on the boat just let me know.


He purchased the boat in the Jan of 08 and stripped it down and painted the black base him self. He then had a local air brush artist, Graffix by Juice, who use to paint all the Big Dog Motorcycles do the graffix (great air brush artist and his part of the job was flawless). He then Cleared it him self.

The base and clear made the paint job a 10 footer, when you got up close you could see how ruff the base and clear was. That would be my guess as to why the graffix are gone. The probably had to sand it down to smooth out the base and then reclear it.

He did have the interior redone, it was very nicely done, however the red would get hot as hell and the brushed aluminum (silver) stained very easily!

Also 1 drive was replaced right before he traded it in as he hit a stump doin about 5 mph and grenaded the gears. The tie bar also had to be straightened back out.

Basicaly he sold the boat because everything motor wise was falling apart on him. He replaced intake mani's exahust mani's, cam and lifters in one motor, of which he had water in the oil, he had to rewire a bunch of stuff. It was a mess to say the least and he was sick of fixing stuff insted of boating...

Edit: If you have a myspace account here is a link from when it got painted http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...lbumId=1637263

Wow, great info.

Thanks!

Yeah man, thank you very much!

Not a problem, now let me tell you what didn't make sense to any of us at the lake. He went thru all the effort of fixing everything (accept the water in the oil, we figured it was a head gasket however so it might have got fixed when he swapped the cam, but i am not positive one way or the other) and then traded it in on a Donzi that was used...

Now I am not sure I would have gone through all the effort of painting, redoing upholstery and all the engine work he completed to just go trade it in for basically what he bought it for in the first place! I just can't see taking that kind of loss!!! But to each their own I guess.

It's really not that big of a suprise. You got a boat that you fix everything, pour money into and sh!t just keeps breaking. You get tired of fixing it. Get it up to par and sell or trade in for something you think will be less maintinance.

Now, do you have more pics of that thing in the water.

I LOVE the way that looked with the flames.

I cant seem to find anymore, all the ones I have are of us tied up together drinking and partying... If I come across some more I will post them.

With a little TLC and fixing what was left to be fixed, it's pretty nice now
 

The "ENTIRE" boat was repainted by Mitcher T in MI, we did not wet sand and buff. It's like a mirror and also running good.
