Unless you live in Texas at some lakes, or in some cases Lake Erie.

Ha! Yeah, it wasn't so bad when I had another boat up here, as you have the Tiger, but missing that last season made it a little unpalatable to say the least. Only way I would do another one if it was by myself as a side project and not my main mode of water entertainment. I think a car would be next, piece of cake compared to a boat.

You need to throw that thing together with ducktape and zip tiies as fast as you can... it doesnt have to run great or be fast, it just has to run. That way you can give all your friends when their chit is either broke or not finished yet. Then they pay for gas, bring beer etc and you can boat on the cheap. That way you can save your money for some really sweet blower motors on FB swap shopthat somebody else built with ducktape and zipties complete with a photoshopped dyno sheet. Besides bar trollups and pool party chicks dont know the difference between blower whine and main bearings squealing either.....
