It was nice of you to allow them to film the new Amityville movie at your house....
Maybe with the boat sale proceeds you can pave your driveway..... :evilb:

Thanks Third...I'n going to put it up for 42 OBO, it's just too nice to let go for anything under 40, if you know anyone interested send them my way. If no one wants to give me 40 I'll just keep it, it's paid for anyhow:D

It was a blast, it can get a little unnerving loading and unloading by yoourself, I think the worse part is docking and having to lasso a piling...good thing I watched Roy Rogers movies as a kid:evilb:

Formula271 is considering a 311. Maybe he'll chime in here. If I were looking, I'd be looking at yours. Nice updates and nice power-package. Any canvas? Close ups of trailer?

offshoredrillin 05-15-2005 08:18 AM

Re: WOW, what a day!!
 
I did talk to him and sent him the older pics I had, they don't do it justice, as for canvas, I just had a sunbrella cockpit cover made for it with two poles and vented at the tops of the poles. The trailer is a magic trail by magic tilt mfg. I was waiting to do the classified until I had better pics as its all in presentation. The power that is in it is incredible, nice low rumble, you can see from the dash pics both are idling right about 800. oil pressure is great and they never got above 150 degrees. For an 89 its in great shape, there are always little things that need attention, but hell, I have the same thing on my tiger too:)..hopefully he will get a better lok with these pics, it's ready to sea trial.

Hey Rob glad you had a good day. I was with TEd when you called him and we had just got to Baltimore. Good Luck with selling the boat and if I did not already have one I would take yours. When is the Tiger going back out?

And also Harry's vette looks great!!!!!!!

Not bustin' on ya here, (okay maybe a little good natured ribbing), next time be sure to tuck your drives down before you start the motors. That plays HELL on the U-joints. :D :D

I did that once years ago, the pics from behind are out of water, and put them up in trailer:D.

Thanks Mike, Harry's vette came out great, he thought I was nuts when I yanked the fender pieces off cuz I wasnt happy with them. Tiger should be out next weekend and definatly on memorial weekend...that will be a hell of a party.Let me know where you guys will be...

I just noticed when I clicked the top picture in post # 3 to enlarge it, both tachs are idling at 800 and the drive indicators are showing "out".

Couldn't figure out why I could't back off the trailer couple of years ago, then I figured out why, duhhh.......:D :D

lol yea i learned that way too, that pic was in the middle of the Cheasapeake bay crackin open a chilly one and checkin the tattletale speedo. I was just amazed at how well it ran the whole day didnt miss a beat, and was so docile, even with a breeze docking by myself was easy. i stopped and just floated for a while enjoying the bay and the weather..all was good!
