Spring Whipple Group Buy this year?
 
How about it? It might sway my decision.

SummerObsession 04-08-2002 03:21 PM

I'm IN!!
 
I am about to buy a whipple for a 502 efi. I would be very interested.

SR-24 04-08-2002 03:24 PM

I was going to buy at the end of summer, but if the price was right, I would buy now.

group buy?
 
Hi,

What kind of price are you looking for? I usually offer some pretty aggressive pricing, in fact I am currently offering kits for the 454mag, 502, and 502mag for $5,050.00. If you are interested you can call me @ (602)438-1361 or email me at [email protected]

Thanks,
Don Baca

spring whipple
 
I'm in , was on the phone all day pricing whipple for my 500hp-think i can do better!

RiverGirl 04-09-2002 12:59 AM

Oh GREAT! Are you guys serious...?
Well thats great for you and Dustin.

Buuuttt..
I have a friend, whom I have been trying to talk out of getting whipples. \Believe it or not!
He's been talking about em since the day I met him. He will either kill himself or check book!

His has a 32' now. It's very light and quick. I don't know exact mph or hp ....but I want to say he can push high 80's and I wanna say 495 - 500 mercs..
besides that, they are High Maintence ..... FREE!
he took delievery last summer, so I am sure there is a warranty.

why spend 16-25k to get that little bit more speed...for what ....
1 more season....
to turn around and buy a 38'. Only to open ck book for more power, props, drives..
I'm sure his resale will lower....and what about the warranty..?

I think he should wait, put the money in the 38' for even larger power, drives & props!...the whole package!!
anyway...the length and the power go hand in hand for a better ride!

What do you guys think..?
Like to see other opinions....

sounds like RG is talking about Rick32:D :D

Shorty 04-09-2002 10:18 AM

Rivergirl - have you been talking to my wife? Story sounds very similiar! :mad: :D

I can't remember the exact details but I was thinking they were something like $4500 last year with a dozen or 15 people?

SummerObsession 04-09-2002 11:23 AM

Rivergirl: As your name states, you are a girl. You just don't understand these highly technical upgrades to our cash eaters...I mean boats:D :D
In other words, we are guys and are too stupid to do something to our boats that make real sense...nuff said!:D

P.S. We truly ENJOY blowing our sh*t up! hehe:cool:

SummerObsession 04-09-2002 11:40 AM

Rocksolid: you have mail :D
Check your pm

rick32 04-09-2002 01:46 PM

Yeah River girl !
I agree with Summer Obsession.

Rick32:D

rocksolid 04-09-2002 04:28 PM

Better get my 2 cents in,,, :p
Rivergirl, it's just the need, you know when the swim suit cost $125?? You know the $25 one covers everything just fine..
You may not even wear it but once,,, before its retired.. :rolleyes:
Just the game, once you step up to the plate, well the rest is history...........

MotoFountain 127 04-09-2002 05:00 PM

YEA YEA who let her in here anyway ?
;)

SummerObsession 04-09-2002 06:03 PM

MOTO: :D :D :D
Too funny!

In2Deep 04-09-2002 07:01 PM

I'm a possible -- but only if the 496 Mag HO system is out.
Dustin?

RiverGirl 04-09-2002 07:13 PM

HUH...????
Are you boys bashing ME..RIVERGIRL????

Wadda YA BOYS NEW...?
You guys don't know me very well, now do you....?

I'm the one who just moved from California ...(which I have decided...boating is kind of lame there).....to only be in FLORIDA where its normal to own...
NOT 1, but 2 or 3 boats!! Usually.... OVER 38'! and go a mere.... eeeh... I wanna say ... 75 - 110mph..!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently you didn't read my post thoroughly.
I said to WAIT for the 38'.....
Why bust your balls for some tinker toy 32'...
Go for the gusto...baby!
Save up for the bigger, better and HELLO .....FASTER!!!

If it was my choice and I had Ricky's check book in hand.....
Where do you think I'd be right now....?
Noooo not at the mall ....
and not on some lake wondering how I can get whipples without anyone knowing ……or
how to get a mere 2 - 4 more hp.....

I would be in the back showroom....here @ TNT asking Johnny for my lessons on how to throttle my new 40' SKATER!!! :D:D:D w/ twin 1100's!:D:D:D

...oh and .... make sure you have some steel toes in those boots ... so you can feel it good....when your kicking yourself in the ass for not listening to me...
as I'm passing by going 100+!!!!
you talk big...but I have yet to see BIG!!
see know....KWB... he started out w/ a 32' sunsation...then went to a 38' top gun....now look at him...he is in a nice 42' TIGER W/ some NICE POWER!!l

are you boys listening....or is it going in one ear and out the other...
:rolleyes: :D

p.s. Declawed..the 46' skater.... he's got whipples...ck my pics on my home pg under Hawks Cay run... nice clear pic of em!!

rick32 04-09-2002 07:56 PM

Easy Rvr girl,,, before you get your feathers ruffled..... Let me
tell ya.... The boys were joking...you gotta roll with it babe..... !
Comes with the territory...

Rick 32:cool:

RiverGirl 04-09-2002 11:22 PM

oh pleeeeeeeeease ..... i was joking... anyway...you know Im right

I just wanted to see what the others thought

Shorty 04-10-2002 10:19 AM

I know, they're both right (group hug girls :D), I've just got the fever to do something. Must be the boredom from the long winter.

ssherman 04-10-2002 10:49 AM

You hit the nail right on the head. So guy buy a dirt bike or renmote control boat that should hold you over till season gets here:D

SummerObsession 04-10-2002 06:07 PM

OK, so what's the verdict?
 
For those of us that don't have "upgradeophobia" are we looking for a group purchase or not.
I am going to order a system by next week, need the 502 efi system and throttle body.
Besides, gong faster, even briefly is NEVER a bad thing!:D :D :cool:
