You want a top gun…come buy mine. It’s one of the cheapest on the market.

Lets go with Naive Overly Enthusiastic large twin engine performance boat buyer that saw nothing he couldn’t fix 🤣

All Credits to you as you are one of the few that completed a never ending project like that unlike 95% of the previous members we never heard from again.

I was like Oboy when you first started opening up the cockpit floors to access the fuel tanks but Dano the Mano got it Done. Great threads tooo

You never disappoint. I saw a great deal on a like new John Deere riding lawnmower recently rebuilt and converted over to fuel injection by a reputable neighbor of the owner of the mower.

You should snatch it up.

Ah Look back at all the skills you learned that you thought you never would have.

Optimism and Perseverance and some $s can overcome almost anything.

25 years ago when I owned my parasailing business I had college kids working for me that were the beginning of these useless generations knowing anything useful

Anyways long before YouTube I was fixing their cars or whatever else was broken in life and they would ask me how did you learn to fix that. I told them I learned by doing what I had to do because I couldn’t afford the expense and downtime to not fix it myself.

I should have gone to college and became a lawyer/politician but at the time I didn’t realize I wasn’t dumb enough nor how easy it was so to sell my soul.

Here's a FB quote from Brian who built the engines, seems the owner isn't being honest.

I know that some of the guys on the web page Offshore Only are looking at a 1991 38 Cigarette down if Florida listed for $50,000.00 that I did back in 2018. I want to warn them that all the pictures in the adds are of the boat during the build and when the current owner bought the boat and don't show its current state. This boat must of sunk in salt water and the trailer was also used in salt water. In my opinion the boat is beyond repair with damage, mold and rust everywhere. I had a customer interested in buying the boat until the current condition pictures were sent. They are very hard for me top look at with all the hours I had in that project...this was a beautiful boat when the current owner bought it.

Always get boats inspected before buying

Thanks for all the information. From what it sounds like I'll definitely avoid a cheap top gun..

even an experienced gun owner should avoid this one…
