Finally Stepped Up To A Skater
 

After looking for quite some time and almost pulling the trigger on others I'm
glad I ended up with this one..... My brother and I picked up this little machine from Larry Goldman at Xtreme Marine.... I will post some more about the whole deal later just wanted to say thanks to Larry for the hospitality and jumping through a few hoops to get us on the road .... took a spin last night down to South Beach it was pretty snotty out and it was a beast....

Awesome ride what power does it have now? Handles the rough stuff good? What time were you out yesterday it was blowing all day out of the E makes for an unpleasant ride at times.

one of the greatest boats ever right there . . . . enjoy that sucker which I'm sure you will.

Tell Larry he does not have to send me anymore pictures!!
Still have the rudder and Arnesons?

Good luck with her!

Larry is Larry lol .... Yup still has rudder and Arnesons .....Sterlings as well

What did you step up from? I came up from a 320 Crownline.

I always loved that boat , congratulations !! :ernaehrung004::ernaehrung004:

Wow brother that was one hell of a step !! You did well .:drool1:

42 Comanche Triple 1200's

Still has big Sterlings... Went out at 730 pm blasted rough stuff like nothing

The 46 Skater loves the big stuff!! Congrats!!

You will LOVE it

That is one great looking boat and I can only imagine how she rides.

Is that the same boat that was based in the Midwest that had the 202.907MPH run back in the day?

That was budwiesers 36 Skater that Sterling has now.

Dave Scott had a 36 painted exactly the same that he set that record with .... this one I'm positive is no slouch lol

.



Awesome boat!


please post some pics of interior and engines too.

Very nice rig, is that the boat the Aquamania raced for awhile?

yes they had it after Dave Scott

Incredible boat! Congrats!!!!
Glad you guys were able to get it!!!!!

Great rig Congrats.

Hey slingshot show a picture of the A$$ end of the boat!:cool:

You should have a good time with this boat, and it runs right out of the gate!

Too bad you had to rip off people to come up with the money for the skater. I hope karma visits you and your family in the future. It always does

Whoa....uh what?

:popcorn::

Rut ro......:poopoo:

care to fill us in ?

wow this turned into a really interesting thread all of a sudden.... you were sayin?

Wow..... I just saw this.... In response to your posts..(If I can recall the exact details).. "Big Mike" inquired about a 1998 45 Excalibur($45k was selling price---book value over $90k ) that we had for sale at a very good deal, he came and looked at it and gave a deposit ( $ 500.00) said he was coming back (2-3 days later) Tuesday to pick it up and he had all the money etc... I needed to move the boat right away because I had already committed to a time frame to purchase the new boat. Well the dates came and went and he contacted my brother and said he needed more time. (I did not want to take a deposit much less one of $500.00)

I think a week or so went by and he still could not come up with the money. Another buyer called and asked if the boat had sold (it was on ebay prior to this ) I told him there was a deposit but the buyer was not able to come up with the funds in the allotted time. He came and looked at the boat wired money the next day done deal and is now enjoying his boat. "Big Mike" asked for his deposit back my brother had felt he was kinda jerked around for the week or so after the promised date of purchase.... he did not want to return the deposit I kinda felt the same etc..but I told him to return at least half and call it a day for everyone's time involved.. I think if I recall him and my brother agreed on half ($250.00) and everyone was happy.......Long story short I am quite sure my brother forgot about it because I certainly know I did......

So to come on here and bash me or my brother over not getting your money back after we gave you more then ample time to come up with a "plan B" to fulfill your end of the deal is a little childish immature and quite frankly disturbing. I will make sure he sends your $250.00 out this week as AGREED..... it isn't an issue just slipped through the cracks of everyday life..I sincerely apologize for the misguided attention to the matter on his part and on my part for not following up with him ..On another note I will be handing this over to my attorney to file a slander, libel, defamation of character proceeding against you. Have a nice night. I hope you did find a boat btw as there are plenty good deals out there.

P.S. kindly post your full name that you would like the cashiers check made out to and your address you would like it sent to.... you can inbox it to me if you feel your privacy may be invaded here.

Thanks
Michael aka "slingshot"

and for all of you forum guys looking for something to click on.... below is private messages from "bigmike" to me asking about the boat or "fishing" if you aske me.... by his context I don't think he knew I was the seller at the time....


Post # 1 ......apparently looking for info before he sent me the PM's below....

(when an ebay buyer form Michigan was looking at it and needed pricing on shipping, I guess the PM's came after he got no reply on the post)
