Times a changin. :)

Honestly most of us use or speed boats like cruisers. Hanging out in the bay all day, then sleep at the bar/dock at night.

To me, that is just a waste :)

35/38 Sonic or 40 Hustler Fiore fits our needs, just couldn't find the right deal this year.

Got a decent deal on the cruiser and it is paid for. Really got exhausted of boat shopping all winter long, more bad than good out there under $125k IMO.

Um......sold the go fast to pay for the new house and "changes" to the new house she wanted last year. Wouldn't hurt so bad if she put out once in a while :grinser010:

However, kinda looking forward to having a shower, generator....and a/c :)

Taking a break, but I will be back. It does have a big block with bravos.......think she would notice if I put big power in it? hahahah

And please, wave when you pass me and rev the engines in memory of a fallen go fast guy


What are you going to get?

You PU$$Y!

You do know as soon as 272bajadriver gets his pslonaker 540 in his
Islander he will be twice as fast as you don't you? :eek:

:evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

flame away! 27 Ft of fun powered by one 330hp bravo one spinning a 17p SS mirage prop! Whoa............

Was amazed what can be done with only 27ft of space compared to a go fast.

Sorry, its a crownline 268 CR....whatever the hell that means :(

When I asked the dealer what the top speed was he said "Does it really matter?" I put my tail back between my legs and stopped talking, as my he and wife talked about how to go about changing the curtain colors.

Guys.....it really hurts
