Default 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.

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?

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
