38 gun on gooseneck is pretty rare but I know I’ve seen pics of some before.

this was as close as I could get with a search. 41 Apache and a 38 hustler.

seems the gooseneck trailer’s axles are further forward than a hitch trailer.

Not sure if these pics help any, but this is a goosneck trailer for a straight bottom gun. It's one that Carter had years ago.

Thanks !! Trying to figure out the length and how much to cut off and move axels. I know it’s a lot of trailer for the boat but they pull so much better in my opinion. We’ll find out !!

You getting close to being all
done??

Getting real close. Last night hurdle is trailer

Any progress updates with the project

Yes been busy working in it . Trailer project coming along very well. Engines are at my shop know ready for install. Took some time figuring out how I was going to hover the boat over the trailer to make all the bunk supports. Got that all figured out and boat is sitting on trailer know. It’s nice to see parts going back on the boat know. Been a long time. Looking back on it the boat has come so far this topgun is new from front to back there is not one piece that has been left untouched. Next week we should have it back on the ground and ready to drop in engines

Wonder how many parts, custom and otherwise, you have on this boat that you never payed for?
Yankey Customs basically told me that you`re the reason he stopped doing stuff for individuals cause you Fu%$# him hard.
I told Mike to get payment in full from you because of that story but he was too trusting and nice and you fuc ked him too.:mad:


I don`t know how you sleep at night. I guess pretty well with that extra cash in your posket and free parts.
You better lose my number you piece of $hit scammer.

Warning to others.. do not do business with this a hole.

Yankey told me the same thing he got screwed on some high-end stuff the guy kept and never paid for, but didnt say who it was,

This is starting to get interesting 😁

Or go south in a hurry

I've been tight with Yankey and his wife for years. That poor couple has been screwed over so many times across so many states, it's literally too depressing to re-imagine it. I knew about the issues, but didn't know who. This is a damn shame.

Yup, well now you know.
Then he also screwed I ZOOM mike who made him bunch of custom stuff.
Mike is the nicest guy , really pisses me off.

The solution is simple , 50% deposit, parts don`t ship out til payment is made in full.
They`re too nice.
People Like Eric will take advantage of that unfortunately.

Thats what we have to do with big businesses, 50% down to kick the project off then full balance due before it leaves my shop.

Sorry to hear this neat thread is going down the shltter

Ok let’s get some some things straight. Dan thanks for the kind words not that I even have the time so go down the road I’d be happy to . Let’s start with mike… the guy I screws over on a bunch of custom stuff. I did send mike money to Weld up some stuff check was cashed when he started sent those back and we were working on some other stuff then he and I got busy. He texted me the small balance Dan you asked me to get him paid and I did check them I see these cool comments about screwing him over so I called him and he told me he’s away on vacation or business and has not been around to get check so if that makes me a thief then guilty

On to the other accusation Yankee did make some parts for the boat he did seem like a super nice guy throughout the process fast forward a few months parts get done they show up at my front door at that time the invoice came a few weeks later the day I received the invoice a check went out fast forward three weeks I had noticed the check wasn’t cashed when I had texted him that day about it he immediately went on the defense and said that this is why he doesn’t you work with people such on and so forth at that time he was in the middle of a move so maybe that’s the reason he did not get the check That instant I sent him a picture of my credit card and told him to run the full amount on the card maybe he’s around on the form and can post a picture of our message group with the credit card in it he said he was going to look into how to run a card because it wasn’t set up at that time or something along those lines a week or two goes by I tried to call him no answer and no return text I am well aware he has told many people about this incident but the big part of the story that was left out was he never ran the card to this day that card is valid and he could’ve ran it at any time if that makes me a thief and an ******* please delete this entire thread I could care less about this boat anymore and peoples one-sided stories most likely why this thing is just sitting in the garage covered in dust Those parts are sitting in a dusty box somewhere in the shed that will not be on this boat.

It’s funny how people hear one thing or another and turn it into something that it is not you can call me whatever names you want or think whatever you want about me 99.999% of people on this form that read these comments I have never met or had an interaction with I can tell you this I worked three jobs raise three kids and work my ass off throughout this boat process I used to be proud of what I have accomplished on this boat the knowledge that I have learned and how far it is come but through the process this is turned into something That I don’t even want to look at anymore so I think it’s time to cut my losses and part it out since I am a thief and an *******

It`s been a year buddy .. but keep going with the excuses

Dan again I have ZERO interest in a keyboard war. Me and mike have talked back and forth since day one not once has there been a problem with us we have talked boats , life, hobbies ect, mabye he will chime in here mabye he won’t either way he has NOT been bugging me for money for a year. We talked about doing other things and we both got busy water pick ups hatch rams ect. You try to make it sound like I hustled him been dodging him ect. He’s paid end of story talked to him last night on the phone after I saw your post. I will not let this post derail this thread. Moving on.

Sounds similar to the guy who posted about a broker who sold a boat to him and screwed him over bad. Several came in and voiced responses and yada, yada it kept going and going. Then the broker showed up and posted his side of the story and next thing ya know all that was heard were Crickets

I don't know anyone here other then thru OSO. Been many threads bashing and innuendo in one form or another. Every now and then I voiced an opinion until Sept 2021. Read a post which has only a very slight hint of facts and is mostly slanted but panders to the base (my opinion). After reading it I understood where the base is, so I limit responses there after. So to voice an opinion one more time, unless I can read some real facts then it's here say

I look forward to seeing more from your thread

I just don’t want to have internet wars. Yea I fully plan to add more to thread !

I enjoyed the progress of your boat!!! I learned with a Fountain I had that boaters are like middle school girls. They have “clicks “ and everything is whatever the “click” says lol. The smartest thing I ever learned was treat a man the way he treats me,not what everyone else thinks???? If you are in the right you know, If you are in the wrong, you know, but no way in Hell would I let what anyone on the internet or for that matter anywhere else deter me from finishing!!!!! Good luck

Thanks guys !! And for all the people who sent pms yesterday thank you for all the kind words of encouragement I didn’t Realize how many people were enjoyed this build. I’m the moment I was very frustrated. Thanks again guys!!!! Moving forward with lots of rigging !!!

Moving on.

You`re a good con man , I`ll give you that .
Mike was over here the other day helping me out , I know the story first hand, but go ahead keep your free parts and keep posting.

You jerked me around for months with a 100 excuses when I sold you my blowers .. I don`t let anything go till I`m payed in full so you coul`nt get one over on me but carry man. People have been warned.

Post what you want say what you want. I’m not a con man and honestly I really don’t care what you think. I’m not having this war. As stated before sent mike a check. Last I will speak of that. I have bought and sold 100s of parts on oso and I don’t see and other bad comments. I have built this boat from a scratch I see no other say I’m a con or a screwed them over. But thanks for warning others. I can remember when you warmed me about doing any deals with people on oso in fact some people that have comment on this thread lately. I have nothing else to say about this situation.

Sorry Rob, he had me fooled .


https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...349653756d.jpg

Again something that Doesn't involve you one bit. Glass Dave is on here if I conned him out of his molds you would know. Again you can spend as much time as you would like getting oso to dislike me I’m fine with that if anyone else has a problem please speak up. I really love how all the negative people think there perfect and have never done anything wrong. I’ve never once had a argument on oso never once had a problem. Remember when you warned me of some of the members in this forum ? In fact some of them have made comments about this situation. To each is there own. So for the entire oso community. Including anyone who has a issue contact me if there is a problem never once ducked or dodged anyone.

Oh and if anyone in the boat world has a set of molds that i made them please send pics and speak up because I can assure that is the last thing I have time for. Please let’s see them speak up …….I’ll wait that’s correct no one god forbid i mad a new mold to pull a new piece for my own boat from molds I help build and worked on.

Let me when we can get back to boat building

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...c92f5ecf42.png
Rob for full transparency this is why I pulled a new mold off a my existing piece. I had to modify the part to make it taller and the back longer to match the other side I did not want a part that had a ton of boat work in it that would crack over time. Once I modified the part to fit perfect I made a new mold and a new part that was pretty much perfect out of the mold. So one new mold out of the three pieces. That mold got cut up and put in trash because I don’t store things.

…wrong thread

Does anyone have a straight bottom boat on a Myco that can measure how high the boat sits off the trailer. Working on making new uprights and stands for bunks. As it sits I have the boat hanging about 4 inches from the crossmembers. I want to keep it as low as I safely can.

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...6ea453676.jpeg
As it sits this is we’re it’s at

I hated to reply to this but I will set the record straight.
In July of last year, you asked me to make a hatch slide brkt. for you. I replied and said I would and also you asked if I could weld up some battery boxes for you.
Aug. 3rd you asked me for my address and if I had Venmo because you were going to send me a check to order some material, and the parts you had to be welded up. You sent me a small check for a deposit.
I welded up the parts made billet lids and spacers and sent them finished back to you on Sept. 9th.
You contacted me and said you received them on Sept. 13th
On Sept 16th you asked me if I could make stainless water pickups, we talked about the boat and other things and you said you had a pop up bow light that you were not using and if it would work on mine you would send it along with a template of the transom and a check.
Sept. 25th I contacted you and said I never got the package or a check, you said it came back to you with the box all damaged and that you would resend it.
Oct. 1st I sent you the tracking number for the completed hatch slide bracket.
Oct 4th you said you received the bracket. I told you I still had not received the template, light or check.
Dec. 14th I sent you a text letting you know I still did not receive anything and gave you a complete breakdown of your invoice. You texted me back and said you would get the check in the mail.
In March we talked and I still had not received a check. Dan asked me if you ever paid me when we were talking about building parts and I told him no. He said he was going to call you and tell you to get me paid.
April 25th you texted me and asked me how much you owed me and again said you will send me a check. I gave you the amount and my address. You said you will get it handled.
June 2nd you called me after Dan had posted here on your thread. You said you would get the check in the mail.
June 3rd. You texted me and said you had put the check in the mail last Tuesday and to let you know when comes. I said sure.
June 7th today and I still have not seen the check. I cannot speak on other business dealings you have, but as far as mine it appears you have blown me off. Like I told Dan who has been in my corner since I asked him if he knew you, Shame on me for trusting you.

wow,

Everything and I mean everything out of Erics mouth is a lie.
I specifically told him , hey man I vouched for you , don`t make me look like an A$$HOLE .he could care less.
Piece of $hit!

Mike I mailed the check. When I said I did. Thanks for what you did. Yep few months went buy should have got it out sooner. Everyone else that wants to throw out names and whatnot could care less have a nice day. Mike I’m sure you will get it.
