wait jay is looking at a gladiator? where was I? Any other info about the potential purchase?

Kreed, yea I meant 572's...I was typing fast and hit too many numbers...I would be extra careful near the mouth but you already know this!!!! We took our silent thunder muffler off so we should be louder this year too and have more power...But we have the captains call option, so we can be quiet if needed. I will be crossing my fingers for ya!!!!

Thanks Justin...Im gonna need it :) So you guys put new tips with no baffles on ?

I've only had the DEP "talk" to me a couple times at the launch about the noise. No tickets or anything. That's ANOTHER plus to having small blocks huh Justin!!!!! Let the "Big Blocks" get the tickets! :kiss:

Justin....I did the same thing when I bought mine.

Wait, Nellie is offering a free dinner with the purchase of a new boat??? I have to get my azz in gear! Wait until I tell Christine, she'll actually be excited I'm looking at new boats now! :drink:

Jeff likes the sound of sewing machines, anything more and his ears hurt. He told me he's thinking of trading his truck in for a 4 cylinder as the noise is too much for him these days. :eek:

You can buy a new aluminum trailer for that boat for under $10k if that's all that's holding things up. It's a sweet boat, nicest lines Cig's ever produced IMO.

Dont worry about the storage, there's room in the front for your purse. ;)

Just bolt on some turbos and run them at 3 or 4 psi, gain 100 hp and noise problem solved. Meth and water will take care of the compression problem. :drink:

Scot I agree on the river thing in my opinion it is great for water sports skiing etc. I love when I see all these big cruisers going up river. The channel is narrow most of the people boating on it have no clue what they are doing and then you have the current to fight with and waste mad money on fuel. Not to mention other then the occasional hang out to me it is boring. For me if we where not this close to the sound or a big lake I would not be able to justify the coin. Jay trailers are a dime a dozen press them on the price or get them on the hunt for you. Both you and Scot hopefully know we want you guys out there this summer that is why we leaning on you. By the way Jay if you buy the Glad you will be the fastest until Scot comes home with his new kitty

You forgot to mention the floating logs (of both types) in the river. Every trip I pray I dont hit anything in the boat, or find one while swimming. :lolhit:

Kev, if you want to hang in Middletown, get a little bayliner to hang on after work and get Studio 54 down to OS! :cool:

Frank, nobody cares about speed anymore.... anything over 80 is just too dangerous now-a-days and fuel prices are going through the roof. Air conditioning is where its at. Cruising is now cool and Jay should reconsider the 90+ MPH Cig!!! :throw:

Scot, you bring Nellie and I to Claudios in your new cat....dinner is on her.:drink: Just keep it under 80...for safty of course!

Turbos give me a woody

Air conditioning, cruising? Did Nellie log in under your user name or did you just eat the worlds largest bowl of sour grapes for breakfast??? :party-smiley-004:

A lot of "IF" statements in there. It looks like the last deal has pretty much gone down the toilet (unless the seller's meds kick in soon), although I have another very promising lead... but I'm far from counting any kittens yet! Still working on operation kitty litter, but you might still see me in a vee yet this summer. Regardless, dont count on me being the fastest, remember boy wonder will have Ken's OL out there on a regular basis! :cool:

Now back to those air conditioned sour grapes... :party-smiley-004:

oh boy that looks sexy...we are going to do rubber flappers because im a cheap bastard ($10 each)...how much louder is the boat when the exhaust is gone? we havent had it in the water since we removed the silent thunder. am i going to be impressed?

yep...we just elimiated the exhaust altogether...it goes straight thru the hull baby!!!!

I have seriously detracted from the intent of this thread "finding a boat for scot" but did anyoone else hear back porch maybe closed due to new condos being put in?!?!?!

anyone else hear this?

It sounds good.....way better than the crappy stock exhaust setup. It sounds good (for small blocks!) :eek:

If you want NOISE.....listen to Franks or Kevins! :evilb:

yea i have heard kevins and it is very loud...i am just looking for something more than what the stock exhaust offered...did your out of the hole time improve at all?

This and the exhaust talk belongs in the BS thread! Jay and I have pressing matters here! :angry-smiley-038:
:D
But no, I have not heard that. I hope that's not the case, although it wouldn't suprise me. :(

I have heard that Justin. Dont know if its true, but Frank may know more seeing he prolly pays for 1/3 the marina costs, he prolly has a condo all lined up!

moses thats been the rumor for years and the town keeps shooting it down, but I heard that they recently may have passed it with the clause that they would clean up the saybrook side of the river and make it up to par with the old lyme side. theres a lot of rundown buildings, etc... on the saybrook side

Oh no...... you have pressing matters Scot, not me! :party-smiley-004: Kevin and Company are dead set on getting you a new ride before Spring! (or at least the end of the summer!) :eek:

Yea Scot. No pressing matter with Jay, he already has his new Gladiator picked out! Your next buddy!:drink:

I heard it has been approved by the town but it will take time to get it through funding planning etc. The marina will remain open the restaurant will be a casualty at some though.

YUP, Here is my new boat Kevin........

:evilb::hitit:

That car does NOT come with the bimbo! Thats an option that Jen will not let you order!

Oh no, Frank and Kevin will not sleep until you have a new boat, trust me pal! :angry-smiley-044:

I'm working on it, I'm working on it! I gotta go call on this 36 I just saw at Pier 57 now... :eek:

:D

A Gladiator could be a good look for you Scot, with some bigger power of coarse :)

I absolutely love them, best looking Cig to date IMO (closely followed by the 42). But if I'm going sit-down, I'm going cat! Once you go cat... :crazy:

thanks for the info frank. let me know if you hear anything else. i sincerely hope that it doesnt go away this summer. i think its a great spot!!!

the most bada$$ cigs ever built are the 45 maximus. its looks like a glad on steroids..............

Like this one! Listen to this beast......man that must rip! :evilb:

hell yeah.........

Good call Adam! Real cool boats, although they were fairly limited in production and I was never all that fond of the center drive option (if I'm thinking of the right boat, or was that the 46?). Beautiful lines though!!! :cool:

dan knows all of them i think, and they all werent center steer if i remember correctly

That's what I'm thinking as well, I think they made htem both ways. I'm sure Dan will let us know...

Wow that boat sounds EVIL, looks EVIL, And I would assume it runs EVIL. I hear a little surging :)........I like it.

Check out how fast that thing idles out of the slip.

Dr. P i thought the same thing when I watched the vid. Nice boat though non the less.
-Mike

That's gotta be fun docking on a windy day!!!! :eek:

Ok, Jayfan's boat search is over......I believe there is a deposit going on a Vette soon :( Sad day....I could almost taste that Gladiator!!!! :lolhit:

Ok, back to the imortant stuff, boats for Scot!...........If you REALLY want to eeff with everyone......

http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o38230-en.html

Very, very sad day indeed.

Jay, if you want a larger boat, get out of your ASAP, the value is only going to continue to drop...

Too bad it's a Baja. :angry-smiley-038:
