What FUN is That!!??^^^^^

Sink another 100K into the boat and then there is one selling for $99K

Who said Power Boaters have Common Sense!! If we did we would be Blow Boaters
I say FUK iT - you cant take it with you, so enjoy it while you can- you just never know when its all over.

I agree too, but a big comfortable party barge/diesel cruiser/Sunseeker looks more appealing every day.

I can't believe how stupidly long and expensive it is to get one of these together. And the service on the high power stuff is like, non-existent.

second comment to this is YOUR CORRECT ! I just worked on a cig flatdeck doing the same thing trying to make a dumptruck a drag car and sold it for $.30 on the dollar . I have looked and have not seen one I like the look of like this boat and the detail that jawbreakerkid did on this boat is great .

Eventually after sometime you get everything worked out (99%) and you`re out there burning gallons per minute and having such a blast fun you end up running out of gas and tow boat tows you in while you`re in the back seat enjoying a nice night.. it make a cruiser seem real boring

Lucky you Dan, I burned holes in my pistons when I ran my blower motor out of gas.

Oh man that sucks!
My co pilot keeps an eye on the warning lights, they go off at 4psi. headsets help, as soon as she said lights I shut it down. Then idled the other motor till it died 1/4 mile from marina of course.

We have ran our blower motors out of gas running pretty them pretty hard. It didn't hurt anything but then again we have a real safe tune in it...
