Anyone want to drive an SVL?
 
This is a great cause and the boat is a competitive ride.
Thanks!

Are there any other fees associated with this? When would you do the dunk test?

Catmando 04-06-2011 09:14 AM

Dunk test is usually done the day before or two days before the race.

Props to you Steve all animal shelters are full to overflowing in this tough economy. You da man!

I can't get on e-bay while here at work, can someone explain what is being auctioned?
Thanks!

Good luck with the cause.

Is this for interactive participation, or just a ride? Is it during a race, or just open water? What days/times are available?

I just sold my Step-dad's 38' Scarab for him. He lives in Venice Beach, FL. I'm sure he would be interested regardless of the parameters, but it may help to add some details in your listing.

A ride in a race boat. The auction doesn't end for 5 days, so you have time to check it out!

Thanks for the interest!

This is for a test on Lake Tarpon in Pinellas county Florida. We can schedule the test to accommodate the winning bidder.
Thanks

Thanks for the added info Steve! I know you just picked up at least one more bidder. Do you happen to know the approximate length of the ride?

We can test a couple props. I will also get you the in boat footage and some pit passes.
Thanks

Steve Im not sure if ebay will pull the auction as it is not a tangable object. You might have to reword it like race footage of you driving /nav/throttling a race boat something like that. Great idea, great cause, good luck. Jo

smiklos@sunprint 04-06-2011 12:04 PM

The Humane society I think has Ebay's permission they are hosting the auction.

you guys should jump on this as an incredible opportunity and a great cause....Steve is not only one of the nicest guys in the sport, he is one heck of a competitor that can get that boat running like no one else can.....that sucker was hard to catch at the '06 Key West worlds..... would have caught him if he had taken his signature cigar and lighter with him in the boat on that race.........too bad I can't post a picture that I have of that race.......

Great job Steve, the animals are lucky to have you in their corner.....

Do we have to ride with Steve, or can we get Gary? :lolhit: I've ridden with Steve on the throttles, and the bidding has already exceeded my limit for that ride...

In your case Chuck you can take Diane and I will hold the dock lines!

Let me know when you guys will do the run. I might drop by to give a little "run for the 'winners' money" :) Or at least take some "running" vid. for you guys.

When would the run take place and does this include a ride in the corsa too!?

We could make that happen!
Steve

Auction ends soon tell me what you want added to it. We need to feed some animals!

I will put something in the pot Steve.
While it's not as exciting to drive as Steve's race boat. the winner can get a ride and drive around the Anclote island and the light house, stop at one of Steve's favorite place, in the Tikki bar, (next to Catches) and I will flip for lunch or dinner, (based on schedule)
Peter

PS, Thanks Steve for unloading my package. They didn't fit right. :(
