This boat has been clocked at 107mph by police radar- Who uses police radar anymore? The ad sounds like a teenage kid wrote this bold statement.

and has been called the fastest single engine cigarette style in the Jacksonville poker runs. -Hello dumb a$$, they're all "Cigarette style" boats if your in a poker run. I don't see Billy Bob taking his bass rig out to a poker run.

Currently the fresh rebuilt has less than 40 hours and the same mechanic has done all work on it for over 5 years.- FIre the mechanic, he is a f'in idiot if the engine looks like that, better yet shoot him in the foot and let the gators get him.

New interior as pictured was just done in may of 2012- Hello dumb a$$ it's 3 years later, not just done, maybe your just "dumb".

I have over 60k invested in this member of our family.- Put a bullet thru the block and burn the boat and put it out of its misery.

There will not be any water testing until pre approved with bank cert funds or cash.-" I need to make sure you have the money first before I sell you this piece of crap."

I could write about the options and Mods for hours.- I don't think anyone wants to hear you puke after reading this $hit you are trying to pass off as a "For Sale" ad.

People who know these style boats know what they are looking at ,- And they're not looking at your pile of milkshake pos.

I am very busy with work so please no SHOP talk.- "I'm too busy trying to bull$hit people dumber than me".

Yeah, a new owner will definitely get lots of shop talk... Along with a bill for a rebuild.
I don't think "belly" is the anatomical part that will be getting filled on this purchase.

I know you probably think you're funny, but your spelling and grammar errors are atrocious. Did his mechanic teach you English?

Not mad, I I just hate it when someone would list a boat in that condition. Take the time to clean it up, and show good pictures. The ad makes it sound like the owner is too busy to talk to people.
This is how I would have written the ad
502 bowtie block, Callies crank Carrillo H beam rods, Diamond pistons, 8.2:1 compression, Blower shop 8-71 supercharger. Overdriven 10%. Edelbrock aluminum heads, Crane Roller cam shaft grind XXX, Complete Crane valve train. Manley Inconel exhaust valves, Stainless intake valves…….. Engines and supercharger was freshened 40 hours ago. Imco outdrive. Front bolster seats, rear bench seat, side cockpit panels and sun pad were all redone in 2012. Boat has been clocked at 107 mph, blah blah blah
And better pictures of the engine and hull.

I'm sure the boat is nice, but some time taken to present it better. it goes a long way towards reassuring the potential buyer.
I just sold my Formula F-18 and I spent an hour rambling on to the guy about EVERYTHING I did to it and what I knew about it. When I delivered it to him, I spent 3 hours showing him everything about how the boat operates and what I thought it still need to be done. He liked that I shared all this info with him because he felt he wasn't buying a boat that I knew nothing about.

Selling a slightly used Imperial II-class Star Destroyer.

Previously (slightly) owned by a navigator of a spice freighter, this vessel has been sitting on my moisture farm and needs to be removed before next year's harvest. I just haven't had time to give this classic the attention it deserves and my loss is some-one else's gain!

1,600 meters in length this bad boy has a maximum atmospheric speed of 975 km/h and an acceleration of >2,300 g. It's got a Class 2 hyper-drive system still in working order with a backup Class 8. SFS I-a2b solar ionization reactor is in good to excellent shape. KDY Destroyer-I ion engine turns over on the first try but may need a new serpentine belt.

As you can see by the picture provided, the deflector shield generator domes are intact. That is a state of the art ISD-72x.

Fully equipped with LeGrange targeting computers, heavy ion cannons, Phylon Q7 tractor beam projectors, leather bucket seats, and a 15 disc cd changer.

36,000 tons of cargo capacity, this beauty was ran with a crew of 37,085 but you can pull it off with a minimum of 5,000 leaving you plenty of room to pack in a few extra AT-AT walkers, TIE starfighters, prefabricated garrison bases, Lambda-class shuttles, yards of soil, spool after spool of pipe, and jet skis.

This superstructure is perfect for long road trips with the family, discovering new galaxies, picking up girls for dates, and general destruction of your enemies. Have you ever seen what a Star Destroyer can do to the surface of an unshielded planet? Stones run like water and sand turns to glass. With just a little TLC, this baby can be good as new.

Brand new this beauty of the skies runs at about 145,670,000 credits, but do to some carbon scoring I can be flexible on the price. Realistically, I just need it removed from my property, so all offers or trades will be considered. Make me an offer, no mind tricks.

First come, first serve basis. You are responsible for towing.

performancems 04-30-2015 08:53 AM

A cummings with new torres........

It's one thing to not know how to spell tires, but the word cummins is spelled for you right there on the door that you open every time you get into the truck. and 11,000 and salvage title. But at least it's got tow mirrors!

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l...pss6xj0ufg.jpg

TooLateVTEC 04-30-2015 06:10 PM

The tow mirrors are out with no trailer attached, you know the owner is a receiver !

there has to be more to that story.......hull is a 2000, trailer is a 2002 (both given away 7 years ago) yet it has a 1960's engine on it?

35K ask for a 20 yr old hull with bad paint and no motors
37.5K extra for wet 6's

So 72.5K in, you still don't have a running 20 year old boat!

I'm not a logo guy but to add insult, this Top Gun doesn't even have the logo on the sides at the waterline!

It's not the head, it's the storage area on the port side. Fairly common to mount stereo equipment.
