Is that even a Cig? Wait a minute, since it has new legs it must be a deal...

:)

Was that a jet ski lift on the transom? And what the hell is on his windshield? Looks like a steering wheel.......in case the other one falls off I guess:lolhit:

Somebody needs to post a pick of cold war.

My vote.

I think there's a Sanger under that thing.
They call it a wake board tower but it sure is ugly!

LOL Agreed.

WHAT THE HE!! is that on the windshield?? This came up few years ago and I don't think we got an answer

Perlmudder 12-01-2010 06:54 PM

My guess for the windshield is that it is one of the wipers, where a circular piece spins to spray the water away. kinda like they have on the fishing boats on deadliest catch. but I may be wrong, someone posted a link not to long ago wondering about them.

This would be a whole lot tougher if it were a "Pretty Arch Contest."

Let's face it: They're all ugly. It's just a matter of degree. But so far, there are some real beauts here.

boatme 12-02-2010 05:50 AM

I knew that would offend someone. Sorry Sonic. Eye of the beholder, right?

To borrow from Ferris Bueller: I don't even have an arch. I have to envy your arch.

$15,000 paint job and it sold for $1,500... hmmm... he did something wrong...


Edit: You have to look at pic 3 to get the full effect and see the custom grab handles!

Hey Matt no worries....you can't say hello without offending someone today with all this PC BS... Not really offended (takes way more than that) I just had to make a stand for the Sonic arch ; which in my eye is just right:drink:

HTRDLNCN 12-02-2010 12:16 PM

Doesnt bother me either, I like my arch and dont
really care what anyone thinks.. Most people
tend to grow to like it when they realize you can
lean on it or sit on it at the party coves for a nice view,
set your drinks on it and do dives off it..
LOL..
My Malamute likes it too! :)

Take the ugliest boat, add two has-been porn stars (Johnny "the Wad" Holmes and Harry Reems) and a piece of road kill, then name the boat Caution:Hot. What do you have. . . the cheesiest boat ever!

Looks like it's going the right way to me! Did they put yours on backwards? :D

tda3 01-05-2011 03:21 PM

The arch on that Fountain looks to be a real head-knocker if going astern. After a few drinks it'll probably clothes-line you!

That Sunseeker is nice!

fabin61 01-05-2011 07:58 PM

Did anyone read the description that boat has never been hit or taken in the water? Used four season but "never taken in the water" What did they do with it during those four seasons?
