You act like I built this and am defending it ������ I know it's rigged, the old man that built/sold it to me was crazy. Nobody would have turned down the price I paid for it.

No, your fine. This thread was before you showed up in the other one.

We understand your point.

Where do I start??????
Home Depot galvanized pipe fittings everywhere on the water system.
angle aluminum for the throttle linkage
PVC exhaust pipe
Basset jet boat headers
disastrous wiring
more extension spring than my garage door opened
Rubber pvc couplers
Lets not even get into the "race"engine 11:1 compression????
Admittedly if the engine has what is suppose to be in it, It might be a good engine for a street car but not a boat. If the guy had 30gs into the engine he got suckered.
I understand your position Ryan. You probably got it for a really really good price (I hope) and hope to flip it, but holy crap its amazing what people can turn a good boat into a piece of crap. To make it into an sterndrive boat again, we all know it will need a new transom and possibly stringers, then you rebuilding the whole rest of the boat.

That's not just a boat, it's a conversation piece. I'd paint that mofo flat black, put "Eat Me" on the sides, skull on the deck, get a Sea-Tow policy and a couple fire extinguishers and go full D-Day all summer.


Drive it till it blows, have Sea-Tow haul it to the nicest house in sight, leave the signed title on the drivers bolster and just walk away laughing. That's a story to tell for years.

Speedracer29 .........now that was f'n funny.

That's the plan, if no one wants it complete, pull motor, throw it in a mud truck or something along those lines, and take the hull to the dump. Not to worried about it.

Dont be so hard on him, Uncle Bill needed something to do with the motor after he wrecked the Camaro....

Ryan you have to do a top speed run and record it, there is a lot of people checking this boat out on here and Facebook. If you can really get it to 80 I think everyone will be floored. I do not want you to wreck or get hurt in the boat, it would just be something if it did move out.

I can see the advert already.......

WANTED. Crash test dummy with razor sharp reflexes and huge stones to pilot a modified boat at high speed ONCE. Previous boating experience preferred but not essential.


Ryan, sorry mate, just having fun. Obviously your boat has issues, hope you can do alright and get some decent money on the engine, perhaps a taker for the boat.

No one has ever told him about "zip-ties".

Sorry RyanWilburn, didn't mean to join the pile on. This thread is for boats and other stuff to laugh at though.
