i think you take Internet forums a little to serious. Your chip on your shoulder attitude is why people give you chit all the time. Dan doesn’t go around saying his boat is the best because it’s his. We all love our boats as we should, they’re all cigarettes. I disagree with you when you say a straight bottom rides better than a t/s. I’ve had both and I prefer a stepped boat. Have you ever ridden in a 39? If so, I’d like to hear your thoughts on that hull. I’m not ever going to bash someone’s boat or tell them mine is better than theirs. If we were at the dock together I’d give you a beer and talk cigarettes all day. |

Right on...maybe I'll meet up with him at an event...how about you drock?
Sorry this thread is going off the rails FF...never intended for all this to come up :duel: |
I’m used to it, no big deal. |
If I lived up your way Dickstyle and Brownstain6969 I`d be visiting Lake St. Clair.
Water always warm, storms seems to break up before they hit the lake, Tons of places to go and see, always a perfect chop, super clean water and tons of beaches.... never any crazy waves that prevent you from going out..etc etc I kept coming back there last year. love it. Too bad it`s too far for tim (like an hour?) lol It`s 5hrs for me but so worth the drive. OH and NO SNAKES!! (like Erie) https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...732a5a6088.jpg |
I do want to make a trip or two, but something always keeps me local, it’s a lot of work to pack it all up and go when I got tons to do here... I thought about trying to make the old school reunion this year we will see, I do 2 vacations a year with wife and certain other days through year so time off isn’t always doable for trips with boat, I need to be my own boss lol |
I have a 2004, 525's, total rebuilds with new cmi's. Drives gone through, new cockpit interior, Powder coated the swim platform, basically went through the entire boat. The last thing to do is run it down Lipship to redo the cabin, someone mention the head liner falling, who ever said that is right, lol. What I'm getting at is I have close to $200, 00 in the boat. However I was at Lipship at the end of last year when he was delivering a new TG with 565's. The boat sold for better than $500,00 (by the way it was a master piece, beautiful boat) Phil is the Man! I feel I have a pretty good value in my boat and I don't think you can make the case to make me feel differently.

Weight to power ratio plays a huge factor and my boat is 16,000lbs on trailer .Boat building methods were old school, none of the newer methods were available . So my boat will always be slower then a newer construction boat . Flat decks are tanks.
