Another funny Craigs list boat ad.
 
Just a tweak here and there maybe some speed wax and bam. 25 mph gains.

I am sure by minor he means chuck out the 454's and call Sterling for some 900's, it's only like 30 bolts per motor to swap in new ones.

It was a respectable ad untill I got to the 95mph part.

The minor modification was putting it back on the trailer and driving on I-95 :D:D you misunderstood sorry :Whatever:

Boat was designed by Steve Stepp, his hulls don't have steps.

what a joke

baddogz28 03-18-2008 09:06 AM

It'll go as fast as the trailer vehicle pulling it. :D

Clay Washington 03-18-2008 09:06 AM

With minor modifications this is a 95+ mph boat.

I would love to make those "minor mods" to my boat! :p

The seller has a bright future as a boat broker.

Yes, but I don't think you can fit three of them in that boat, and that certainly wouldn't be a minor modification.

THEJOKER 03-18-2008 02:32 PM

Atleast it's guaranteed not to spin out!

Over the Niagara Falls........maybe 95

And without modifications.it runs 58 mph

Sunshadow 03-18-2008 07:39 PM

I think his baby might fit on the boat. I fit two kids on my boat.

jhiguy377 03-18-2008 10:29 PM

You are close. The seller typed in the wrong speed number. Should have been 59 not 95.
That boat is right where it belongs----on Craigs list.
With minor mods 95mph. Suggestion: Back off on the drugs, they are working too good.

BOBCATMATHEWS 03-19-2008 09:10 AM

uh ,"minor mods" = "jail bait":D

Joe Todesca 03-19-2008 11:20 AM

Year's from now when he is telling his kid about the boat I'am sure the speed will be closer to 100mph!

Joe92GT 03-19-2008 12:06 PM

I actually think you can make that go 95 with some minor mods.


Simply buy a pair of merc 1075's, 6 drives and some crash boxes... do some quick transom work, and simply drop in and go. Should go faster than 95 maybe :)
