Facebook Messenger Conversation as Follows:


Jim David Darr: Tom, did you buy 46 freedom

Tom Borisch: Are you interested in the engines, trans, and headers?

Jim David Darr: What trannys were in it

Tom Borisch: Jim's 2 speeds.

Jim David Darr: I don't need headers. I would pay 40k for motors and trannys

Tom Borisch: 45?

Jim David Darr: Can't go 45. 40 is my offer

Tom Borisch: That will help me cover shipping. I'll have them delivered in an enclosed trailer. I can do 40k, but you need to arrange shipping. We can crate them.

Jim David Darr: Let me see what shipping is and talk to my rigger to see if I need headers and tail pipes. Text u back

Tom Borisch: Shipping will be about 800 for both skids.

Jim David Darr: Your in Michigan correct?

Tom Borisch: Actually, I can send them in an enclosed anyway. I have a guy going that way next week. I'll cover that.

Jim David Darr: I just need to see if my headers will fit those engines.

Tom Borisch: K. They are tall decks with 18degree big chief heads

Jim David Darr: Great boat. What power you putting in it

Tom Borisch: I have a set of psi sterlings that need a home.

Jim David Darr: That will push that 46. You don't have any boats for sale do you

Tom Borisch: No, When will you know if you want these for sure?

Jim David Darr: I just left him message. I'll know tonight

Tom Borisch: Sounds good, I will start crating em tomorrow if you pull the trigger, I know Jim loved these engines. But sterling is right here in Michigan, and I know Mike really well.

Tom Borisch: There is a line forming behind you for the engine and trans combo... Lol

Jim David Darr: Buddy. If you have cash buyer right this second sell them. I will get with you as soon as I hear from Tony. If their still there we will talk and I'll wire money. Thanks

Tom Borisch: No, don't have any real offers.. That was the LOL part of the message.. People like to ask questions. Very few have the cash. It's all good.
I'm sure you have dealt with the same thing before.

Jim David Darr: Yep I have.

Tom Borisch: Still have a deal?

Jim David Darr: Don't know yet he didn't get back to me. I'll call u second he calls

Tom Borisch: Ok

Jim David Darr: Tom. What kind of efi system is on the engines

Tom Borisch: The carbureted kind.

Tom Borisch: These engines run better than any EFI setup around. Jim had this thing on the water more than any other boat, and maintained it with an open check book.

Jim David Darr: I want efi. I'm checking on price to do top ends and make them efi. I've had alot of carb motors. They are great until u get around docks and in and out of gear and they don't have knock detonation sensors and retard on them. I'll get back to you. How much are the trannys alone?. Thanks

Tom Borisch: Let me know

Tom Borisch: What's the word? You have a strange way of doing business. Making firm offers and then trying to figure out if your actually interested.

Jim David Darr: What? I'm interested. I thought they were efi. What I was told.

Tom Borisch: By who?

Jim David Darr: Guys at loto

Tom Borisch: They have always Ben carb motors. Oh well. Let me know

Jim David Darr: Efi will cost me 8k a motor and 10k for freshening 1 motor

Tom Borisch: Ok

Jim David Darr: Are you at your bottom dollar on motors and trannys?

Tom Borisch: Yes

Jim David Darr: Ok

Tom Borisch: Your not interested?

Jim David Darr: Interested in trannys. But I want efi engines. Too much to convert these motors. I truly thought they were efi

Tom Borisch: How much for trans?

Jim David Darr: How much do you want

Tom Borisch: Jim sells the for 12,500 a piece, Make me an offer for both.

Jim David Darr: Too much for me.

Tom Borisch: That's not what I'm asking, I'm thinking 10k

Jim David Darr: Too much for me. I wouldn't give more than 5k.

Tom Borisch: No

Jim David Darr: Sorry you said make offer. I would send you cashiers check for 6k . Final offer

Tom Borisch: No

Darr needs a therapist.

"Jim David Darr: Tom. What kind of efi system is on the engines

Tom Borisch: The carbureted kind."

Hilarious!

What a time waster.

What, you mean those aren't Mercury black motors with EFI and a warranty?! The picture must have been a little pixelated on his end.... Something was certainly fuzzy on his end!

Why do people do this ****? What kind of person gets off on tire kicking and wasting people's valuable time? You're either a buy or you're not a buyer, I understand shopping around and being cautious but don't be throwing out offers if you are not ready to do the transaction. This guy must be bored, somebody needs to introduce this guy to a titty bar or high-end escorts and let him know there are much better ways to waste his time.

You should have screwed with him a bit more and agreed to the $5k for the transmissions to see what kind of excuses he would come up with to back out even at that price.

That was frustrating just to read....much less to be the guy getting jerked around.

Set him up with Bob from Dearborn.

wow, I must live under a rock, i've never experienced anything like Bob or Darr (although I have bought stuff on craigslist only to find myself in some shady places to make the purchase)

Wow....that's all I can say....wow!

Did you get his phone number? you can have all kinds of fun with that... such as placing a cheap hooker ad on craigslist with his number, beyond good deal car sale ads with his number etc.... with a few key strokes you can have his phone ringing indefinitly...

Wonder if the wire would have gone like this?

http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/g...till-full.html

lol.

Note to self - NEVER give out your phone number!!!! LOL

Yah, I would have probably accepted the 5K offer and mysteriously found another buyer willing to pay $1 more, and cancelled the deal IF he would have ever paid. JMO

Darr is BS'er of the century!!

He messaged me on FB telling me he had a higher IQ than me, at the same time misusing your vs you're plus various spelling mistakes.

Be careful , he's a ninja and could pull your heart out with his hand........................what a loser.

Sometimes I miss him on ALL of the sites he has been banned from. His posting is high comedy.

I say let him back in here!

Legend lives on

Accept the 5 k offer on the transmission you have in the picture, and send him the picture of the transmission.

Send him an invoice for your time he wasted - bill out like a lawyer!!!!

Yes I want them....now.... right now.... Oh wate they have the wrong kind of oil pans never mind

He dropped by the Speed on the Water article on the Fountain with 1550's also:

Jim David Darr · Chief Executive Officer at Gateway pool and spa
Will hit 145 I'll bet in 1550 mode

Tyson how often did he jerk you around on your transmissions in the beginning?

The Darr kind of person.

I think Wasted Income's suggestion of Bob from Dearborn is perfect. They can a$$ wrangle themselves into a coma. I wonder who would win in the end though. I'll go with Darr, he's got the experience.

Now I get this in my PM inbox here:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]555486[/ATTACH]

:hitfan:

His IQ is higher than mine...LMFAO. He gets off on wasting peoples time, I really do not get it.

By the way I could park Freedom anywhere. Runs great around the docks. Really good with the two speeds. :) Congrats on buying Freedom US1 Tom. She a nice beautiful big ride!!! Loved that boat!!

Hey buddy! I'm excited to have it Jim. She's getting a little TLC right now, but should be on the water soon!

I am interested in the naturally aspirated 454 with fuel injection that you have pictured in the original post, comes with a bravo drive right?

You never want a bravo.......go alpha or arneson! :D

darr will do anything for attention.if you can,t tell from the picture that these engines have carbs one would have to be blind.as soon as i saw the name darr i knew where it was going.

don,t bother sending me a pm jim,i won,t bother reading it!

That is a damn fancy fuel injected motor you got there! WHAT A MOUTH BREATHER

Wait, I thought we were talking about an outboard? I'm not interested anymore...

The carbureted kind!..............CLASSIC. Well played sir. :D

That's the new 8 barrel double pumper fuel injection.

After all the bridges this guy has burned over the years... I find it odd that someone hasn't rustled him out of the weeds he hides in and knocked out a few of his teeth. He's like a cat with 9 lives, but has definitely exceeded that number LOL.

ummmmmmmmmm....................................... ..NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but I will pass your ph# onto him if you wanna chat:lolhit::lolhit:

OMG. Just add ", you ---hole" or "Here's your sign."

Between Darr and Sunkin they did generate quite the entertaining read with their antics.
