Oooh, racing gear shifter!

Reminds me of the guy at that ramp that said "I see you have speed props on that thing", huh?

It gets better....

I was bored a few days ago and just had to ask what Racing series it raced in and if it won any races.

The reply I got back.....

"Good afternoon,

She raced in an offshore series and I believe she did win some of the races. I can get you in touch with her captain if you want the full history. He also raced in other series and won several national and even world championships. This is definitely a great boat! Let me know when you want to see it in person."

I'm telling you there is a game show/reality tv show lurking in these ads......This Checkmate is about 20 minutes north of Ms Geico's race shop. I think if the rig showed up, team in full uniform and then when the mechanics realize it is just a regular shifter out of a pontoon boat if the "deal" is off because it wasn't an actual race shifter/throttle! Would the seller backpeddle or stick to his description?

Looks like a Cig 28 from the "molding" around the hull. I always thought they took the pics of the wrong boat in this ad.

It's been a while, but this is a real beaut clark
"Pro Street" is apparently interchangeable with "Amateur Lake" in this case.

What are "racing steering arms for the engine"??? I'm thinking maybe hydraulic steering, but who knows, sale might include a Bowflex!
