It's back.......06 TG, former submarine
 

Wonder what his story will be this time?....Most low hour 06 Cig's need a complete overhaul with new components don't they? If he would just disclose it was a swimmer and why, someone would probably buy it for the right price

I guess the plan was to lay low after the last ruckus without disclosing (and hope everyone forgot it was a swimmer) in order to price it FMV???

Salt bath = a trip to the chipper.

what would you guys pay for it???

Really? Couldnt you just rebuild the engines and get new harnesses?

race boat sink all the time and they pull them out of the water de rig them and dry them out and there back on the race course .

if everything was de rigged and replaced with new or rebuilt and of course the boat hull is dry with no rot there should be no problem.
I guess the big question would be if the repairs where done the Rite way .

Every wire, connecter, fuse block, cable, etc... Needs to be replaced with new for it to be right. Assuming the hull is dry and there is a new interior to go in it. Unless it is a screaming deal and you can do all the refit yourself it can go upside down real fast. Keep in mind the performance boat community is small and the boat will always have a "history".

Yea,cause cables can't go under water:lolhit:,You can look it over and most likely just replace the wire terminals(if) the batteries were left on,flush the motors,change some fluids,fuel ect. and run it,I have seen plenty of sinkers that were fine and You could never tell ,interior and all,but it makes for good keyboard mechanics to say different.I would have no problem using that boat until I was done with My Powerplay project:party-smiley-004:

Salt Bath -Bath Salt, Pick one :) It's Miami :)

Rewire, replace. Salt is insidious, it will creep up the strands of wire and corrode them. No big deal, but the boat needs to be priced accordingly..

how badly did it sink?

A. boat is priced like a non issue 2006 TG
B. seller isn't being up front about the Titanic re-inactment
C. this boat would be fine after taking a dip IF Lipship fixed it, if not then why buy it?

New parts are new parts, does Jesus Christ himself bless the boat if lip-ship fixes it??? I'm in the aircraft business and to be honest most of the worst repairs I have seen came straight off the biggest name shops floors. The reason is because they have the name and nobody questions them. Most of the best work I have ever seen comes from a small shop where the owners own name is on the line...

I think Phil IS the Chosen one (according to popular belief), Soooo, He may have to have a Look :)

I had a 24'Checkmate I/O that sank in salt it sat overnight,floated it up towed it to the ramp,drained the engine,added fresh oil,hosed it all down with the garden hose,replaced the battery and fired it up,ran it for two more seasons without even a flicker in a dash light and sold it for a bigger boat.and I have seen other boats floated up and run also,as long as you flush it right away Your fine its when the air gets to it and it sits is when the real problems happen.

Of course we will disclose it to the buyer. There's nothing left in this boat that got wet, other than a fiberglass hull, and the seats, and the steering wheel, over $80k overhaul.

Doesn't say length or power, I'm guessing it is a 38 525 boat. Can you buy one for $150k in nice shape with no issues? Not sure, I'm asking.

This is exactly why I hate posting on craigslist, people with no money waisting my time with their stupid comments. If you are not a buyer don't waste my time.

I'm not a Lipship cheerleader but....Phil does it right which is the premium you pay for. Rather than do it 1/2azz Phil would just tell you to go elsewhere.

Ok...... But the boat was cared for the next day and you didn't gamble 150k on it. This went through an insurance salvage place (probably sat around 60-90 days from sinking to sale) and who knows who worked on it.

So I take it by this thread you are not interested in the purchase of this boat?

Not me! :D

I just recall the seller was being a d!ckhead about this boat a few months back and disclosure wasn't his motive.

so how much different is a boat that sank or a boat that sat on a lift in florida its whole life?? cars rot from the top down from all the salt in the air down there. any salt water boat wether it sank or not over time will develop gremilns! unless it was stored in a bubble

Glad yours worked out. So let me ask this- did you sell the Checkmate as previously having been sunk and how much do you think that affected the sale price?

How do you flush electrical stuff? Gauges, wiring and such?

I agree 100 percent. I've seen boats that were stored in climate controlled warehouses their whole lives, and sank once.

I've also seen boats that have sat in a rack, in salt air their whole lives.

I can tell you the boats that spent their whole lives in a building and went under once, look a hell of a lot better than the boats that spent 24 hours a day for X amount of years rotting on a lift.

Sorry to be a newb, but could someone link me to the original incident where this boat submarined? I'm in the market for a boat in this pricerange

I sent in my resume but now I know who beat me out of that Craiglist Police position, way to go Juniper Son sation

Salt water boats suck to work on wether they sank or not. The stain"less" even needs replacing to make then nice. Over the past 3 years my shop has seen more and more slat water boats coming north and the headaches they bring with them. We had one from NY 2 years ago that we had to use a sawzall to remove the engine from its mounts. Giving any kind of estimate on tear down time can leave you short on $$$$ and plan on restoring or replacing EVERTHING thats no plastic or rubber.

This mount was from a boat "only used in brackish water"

All those crazy insurance companies paying out claims for no reason. Somebody should tell them all they have to do is wash it down with a bucket and garden hose and give it back to the owner. :lolhit:

That was a nice boat when i bought it in 07..

:lolhit:

Pretty much yes :)
Phil stands behind his work and has been in this biz longer than almost anyone.

With my current boat he told me it was ready to go so i flew in, hopped on the boat and ran it 160 miles to key west, how many dealers would you trust doing that with on a used boat?

Having bought a boat that sank, its the stuff you CAN'T see that makes you worry.

2006 Active Thunder 37'. Roll over in salt water...sat for who knows how long while insurance salvaged it. Here is what you cant' see until you get into it.

Looks good de-rigged:

Not so good after you cut into it....

Floor is finished too. Thank GOD the transom and stringers are made out of composite!!!

So same year boat, similar things happened to it. I wouldnt expect the 06 TG to be any different once you took it apart....

First off salt water does not rot wood,second judging buy the looks of Your boots and the knuckle bustin Chinese tools,You are in over Your head.:lolhit:

Wow, your trying to diminish a posters credibility about the damage done by sinking by questioning his tools? Do you really think anyones buying it? I pack that same Crescent tool kit in my boat, bought it at Costco. Also pack it in the travel trailer. A SnapOn tool box doesnt fit in the engine compartment of many boats and high end tools rust just like cheap crapsmen or chineese built Crescent.

When you sold your Checkmate did you discose the fact that it had sunk before?

Yes,and that was 21 years ago,I sold the boat for 10K and supplied the buyer with 10K in receipts,I just wanted back what I had into it,I still see the boat all the time,and if You would read what I wrote about salt water not rotting wood and He saying the rotted wood is from salt water and NOT sitting full of rain water then yea Credibility comes into play,and the tool thing was a joke,but I ask You this and try to answer truthfully because I can see what Your trying to do here,Would You let a repair shop work on Your boat if the guy came out with holes in His boots a bucket full of Chinese tools?come on now,be Honest.:lolhit:lets not see You act like You did in the Toyota thread

If saltwater doesn't rot wood can you explain half the boats listed for sale here needing floors or transoms or stringers in NJ. Water rots wood no matter what kind it is. Salt water is just a little worse for the electronics, metals, engines, drives, and the list goes on. His Jap crap tools have nothing to do with a sinker or if he is a good boat builder. Great post!

Excuse me?! You know nothing about me or what Im capable of doing. I dont need fancy snap-on tools to build or repair a boat: since when is that a pre-requisite?

I was merely posting an experience I had with a boat that sank. I didnt think I would get flamed for all the surroundings. Am surprised you didnt comment on the camera angle too, obviously it wasnt taken with a fancy Nikkon on a tripod.

Its a**holes like you that diminish the usefullness of forums. Would love to see you broken down on the water and drive right by you with boat full of chinese tools...
