Rice Hauler 2001 Top Gun
 

Rice Hauler on ebay! I've always loved this boat! Saw it it at Lip Ship when it was new, still looks amazing. I wonder where it's been since the theft.

yeah......I'm "watching" it.

Ok...here we go :party-smiley-004:**

What's this boat worth in this market???:drink: :food-smiley-007:

Can someone enlighten me so I don't have to search - Aside from the history of the boat dissapearing/being recovered, and it consequently being a constant topic of conversation, what is special about this boat?

Good point......see my edit.

boat got some tv time, a very well liked member owned it and for its time it was a very good looking boat, then you have the drama around it....

Was in some Cigarette ads and a Lincoln commercial. Also one of the first twin steps with non merc power I think?

Figured there'd me more to it than that.

I don't think I'd pay a premium based on that, but that's just me.

I bought it back in July from the insurance company. It’s been tied up in legal BS till then. When I bought it I had Bob Teague go and inspect it for me since it was stored in tow yard in Compton, you know the home of Snoop Dog & Dr Dre. Bob's shop is only 20 minutes or so from there. Anyway I have been slowly fixing what I thought necessary to make to perfect. Mostly paint work was done and some minor cosmetic items.

If anyone has any questions just call me

Wasn't it on cooper capital? Somewhere around 70K?

I might be wrong on price, But I thinkit was on cooper capital last year.

It would be nice if someone would finally spill the beans and tell the damn story behind the theft and recovery for once and get it over with.

I hate this "I know but I can't tell" crap.

This story has yet to be told in full. Someone needs to air it out and get it over with. With the sale of the boat pending this would be a good time to put it into type.

it involves some devious people

In the "Rice Hauler" thread in the stolen boats section , near the end of the thread someone posted a link to the whole story that was in a news article. Then, just like any siezed items, there's red tape along with the fact nothing can be done with siezed items during a trial. And it sounded like this trail was loooooooong and in depth. Since the boat was recovered out of Az. it found it's way to an impound yard in compton.

What is this?

Story about the conviction of the guy who stole the subject boat (Rice Hauler)...see the pic.

Read the thread more times than I care to admit. The thread is the reason for my comments. The thread was started with the indication that the story would be told in full shortly thereafter. I think the thread starter still owes us the complete story, not a link.

I don't have the complete story :drink::party-smiley-004::food-smiley-007::cool-smiley-027:

Any updates on rice Hauler?

board member devious stole it

K, anything else?

what more do u want? it was stolen then recovered... the delay had to do with the investigation and trial.... there was a group in a high end theft ring.... thats why the investigation took so long

At least it didnt meet da Wood chipper!!!

LOL!
