Yes it is a HUGE boat!! He plays on the St. Croix were a lot of us do ;) I forgot what the cuddy height was but a grown ass man can stand up in it! There are quite a few guys running the 500 / bravo package on the St. Croix. No big drive issues. Just dont WFO it out of the hole.
He is the 4th boat in. This is from last years Chili feed.

No body of water... What about the UFO? He runs out 150 ish on the River (was 170+ but the owner put smaller props on it for the kid...........)

1965 17 Boston Whaler.......$48,500

That's a better deal than I got on my boat. Not to mention a whaler can't sink

I was going to say that the formula 400ss had 525 or hp 500 in them. But is set up like a cruiser and still did around 45-50+ . May not be a race boat but if you have a cabin you ain't got a race boat either. I kinda like that thunder

That's got to be a misprint?. One too many zeros (maybe two). Good luck if he gets a buyer!

you'd be surprised how well those BT's run with mild power.

No.......he really wants almost 50k!

A few years ago at the Lauderdale boat show there was a vendor selling over restored Boston Whalers but even then they were expensive (but 15k cheaper than this guy). They pulled the deck, redid the foam etc. The problem is that you can easily find mint 15 year old 17 Whalers for 10-14k and they are essentially the same boat (17 hull changed in 2003, first time major redesign). So even adding a new 4 stroke/trailer you still would be 1/2 of this guys price and have a lot newer boat!

I admit to not knowing the U.S. boat market like you guys do but that has really blown me away.
I think I'll sell my gold mines and oil fields and invest in used Boston Whalers. They're becoming classics like old Cigs and Donzis or maybe even Riva's....!

RR

Don't dump your gold just yet......that guy still needs to find a buyer that will pay almost double what you can buy a brand new 17 Whaler for at any boat show in the USA! :D

This guy is going for the gold medal........38 Top Gun (really looks like a 38 flat deck) and a F350 combo package at 175K......no mention of the actual year of the boat or truck and two pics of the boat.

Whats UFO? Last time I was on the river I was fishing in my dads Lund Tyee for Walleye by the hudson bridge. That was a good 20yrs ago.

I have alawys wanted to go out on the river it just dont know where to go from and not sure how my tri-toon would do out there.

Looks like a blast thou.

I thought it was high until I realized it had new "sterm" drives. Sherm drives aren't cheap my friend!

This thing. It's what happens when an 18 year old gets to pick the paint...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]541992[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]541993[/ATTACH]

That was doing 160 on the river?

The boats sexy has hell the paint not so much.

I'm a newbie to these go fast boats but I'm trying to learn.

It's kind of one of those oddities in nature where you just can't get taste and money to intersect, but I'd still take it! :cool-smiley-011:

am i the only one completely annoyed at guys that call Flat Decks top guns? . . . . The FD's were fantastic in their own rights and are part of the TG lineage . . . . but they are NOT TOP GUNS! lol . . . . i just dont see any reason to overshadow the flat decks . . . . they are what they are and are great boats

Youtube, UFO St. Croix . He has a couple videos. One he is trying to jump another boats wake. The kid isnt the smartest. I believe when it left MTI it did 175 but dad put smaller props on it.


Any given weekend its nice out you will see him idling passed Beer can island on the Croix

for us newbs, can you tell me the difference?

Dave, you are not alone!

Cheers,

The Other Dave

OK I have heard of Bear Can Island where is that, Might have to take the toon there one weekend and people watch. If you see ever see this cruising around river stop by, I usally have plenty of beer on board.

Donzi Flatboard 24 on Maceday Lake :picard1:

Man, I've always had a thing about Donzi's in yellow! Clean classic look! :D

Thought someone with a filthy, rotten, dirty little mind (paging SB!) might be looking for a Filthy, Rotten, Dirty Little Boat! :D

Nice. Is that seat a drop down bolster?

Not sure, but that is a nice looking cabin door in the back. Ad says "any reasonable offer". Dude is probably going to have to pay someone to haul it off for him.

My reasonable offer would be you give me $500 dollars and I will light it on fire in your driveway. The end.

UFO

Watch that the other day, seems like spoiled "kid" to me.

Here is another one of him doing 150 on the river. I belive speed limit is like 55 on all body of water in MN. Now I'm not one to follow the speed limit but 150 might be pushing your luck.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrqpx9Ebu4I

Nope, no speed limit on the St. Croix River other than the no wake zones.

Well hammer down then, must be only lakes. Got popped on Tonka yrs ago on a jet ski doing 62. He let me off with a warning.:)

Can't help but to notice he's always alone.

BTW

What does that have to do with craigslist? Is it listed there:)

Apolgize for the derail :helmet:

Damn, this doesn't look too shabby at all...1989 Baja 250, 175 original hours http://www.ebay.com/itm/161728340317...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Tonka is one of the only lakes with a speed limit of 40 during the day, 15 or 20 at night. Then the same for the Mississippi River north of the Sauk Rapids dam/ old paper mill dam for 9.9 miles (this speed limit I found out the hard way.)

Other wise there are no speed limits for boats unless it is a pretty small lake but they also have a 10 hp max limit. Some one didnt take the boating safety class........ :)

:signs069: back on topic

Does this count as a tow vehicle?

https://richmond.craigslist.org/cto/5074172707.html

"2 seater an has a mother that runs like new!" LOL!

Wench- $25
http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/bpo/5011523733.html

Yeah, I know, it's a typo.... You can't touch a decent unmounted wench for $25....
I just wonder how ugly she is since the OP put a picture of a winch in the ad.

Wenches are always cheap in the begining but it never stays that way :party-smiley-004::party-smiley-004:

They're cheap until they attach to something!

A hand wench huh ? Not a bad deal for a single guy...........
