To me it just looks like the CIG sticker was taken off and that is glue residue.

probbly covering logos and names and such.. if you notice with truck accidents and stuff, they try to cover them quickly.

I suppose that's true. If someone wanted to vandalize it they could have sliced all the vinyl and done a lot of other **** to it. Plus the drive sitting on the pallet suggests a collision or grounding.

All the Cig decals are removed and Cig logos on interior are all cut out
Swim platform grab bar also broken above the removed drive

is storing the boat on old tires a novel technique…never seen that done before. Interesting!!!!

ok is this a clone boat? the rebuild and all the running videos show a merc speedmaster outdrive this boat has asd 8s newer ones that reverse rotation with gears? thats not a bolt in swap it would take a lot of work to make it work

the plot thickens!!!!

he has the money to do whatever he wants to it, he had it wrapped, then took the wrap off and had it painted. maybe that was done at the same time, i know he ran the drives trimmed to the moon

deleted, it's back.

Arnesons throw an unmistakable large roost it would have show in the videos

That was the sale ad?? :(

Its still listed https://www.pickles.com.au/general/i...Boat/970331071

That was the error page that popped up when I tried pulling up the listing yesterday. That situation was temporary, I see now.

Look to be SCS gear boxes....With the starboard unit sitting on a pallet and rumours of a grounding ---- looks like the drive might have gotten ripped off ???

No doubt with Candyman riding high on the back of the bolster when one of his playmates yelled "I love you Candyman and its weird now that I have herpes and I'm pregnant with your twins!" :D

lmfao!! Jesus!

It's definitely the original CandyMan and not a clone... I was the pervious owner and it had 3a's when i sold it. Heard he blew a drive and converted it to surface drives.

look at this f*cin’ clown LMFAO. on what planet does someone think that’s cool? Where to begin with this guy.


too bad he wrecked a nice boat. Maybe someone will grab it and make it nice again.

Looks like he thinks he's Kevin Costner.

Australians these days...

Back off guys This guy is a F N LEGEND!

In his own mind.

Looks like the notch wasn’t filled in which would be the correct way to do the conversion.
looks like the drop box sticking out lower then the notch recipe for disaster

That boat's seen more Tang than General Foods

Pfft, please.

All we've seen are a few videos the dude wants us to see.
Those are hired models to make him look good on social media.
​​​​​​​Not impressed in the least.

I heard thats exactly what happened... "something on the transom came lose"

Usually on a "V" hull you don't have to fill the notch unless the boat is staggered or you have drives that are tipped inward .

Rumor has it the CandyMan is getting a Hatteras by Tracker built now! :D

Instead of a traditional flybridge he is going to have a dragons head on top of the cabin and it shoots fire onto the bow deck! He will no doubt be piloting it from the top of the dragons head in a concealed helm!

Looks to me that with out the notch being filled in the drop box is exposed Rik would probably know best

rik prob took his money and ran

the last couple of pics show what looks like osb plywood,tell me I'm mistaken,thinking a u-joint let go and tore up the opening

It looks that way , the flange from the output shaft of the transmission is still attached to the drive shaft.

Why did they remove everything that had Candyman on it?

Probably a copyright thing. To prevent a new owner using his logo and name or maybe to protect him and his business from ridicule…….could be too late for that after watching some of his YouTube stuff. 😳

I read elsewhere that he had already sold the boat and the new owner blew up the drives and did the Arneson conversion. It was on a Facebook post so it must be correct!

RR

no that's not correct.

Which part? The part about selling the boat?
Fair enough, as I said, it was on Facebook so I’m not surprised to hear otherwise. 🙂

RR

And what is correct is……….:)

Poor boat finally got its back blown out like all those skanks on it have for years.

So Candyman was the 2nd pervious owner! :D

Those look like SCS drop boxes not Arneson so not RIKs but I would think you might not have to even hit anything but the water pressure alone at high speed or coming down off a wave could rip it out

This guy and Candyman may be separated at birth.
